WSEA — branded Sports Radio 100.3 "The Team" Myrtle Beach — is a sports talk station licensed to Atlantic Beach, South Carolina and serves the Grand Strand area. The Cumulus Media outlet is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to broadcast at 100.3 MHz with an ERP of 12 kW. ==History== WSEA was originally licensed to Pawleys Island with coordinates .〔''Broadcasting & Cable Yearbook'', 1995, B-370.〕 100.3 signed on with sounds of the ocean in the mid-90s, but then went silent. For a while it aired the programming of WWXM. In September 1998, Cumulus Media purchased WSEA, which had gone dark, from Pamplico Broadcasting. The station became "Pirate 100" playing "focused, guitar-based rock" from the late 70s to the 90s. With a newspaper ad campaign that included the words "Jump Ship", John Boy and Billy debuted on WSEA early in 1999, including "John Boy and Billy's Rock & Roll Racing" on Sundays. Diane Costello was midday host. WSEA/WJXY-FM/WXJY program director Buzz Elliott had the afternoon shift (in addition to a morning show on his other two stations), and Shaggy was evening DJ. With a 2750-watt signal, WSEA had its tower near Carolina Forest.〔Toby Eddings, "John Boy and Billy jump ship to 100.3," ''The Sun News'', Jan. 17, 1999.〕 Adding John Boy and Billy gave WSEA an audience five times what it had previously, ten times larger in the morning.〔Toby Eddings, "WDAI returns to top of radio ratings," ''The Sun News'', Aug. 22, 1999.〕〔Toby Eddings, "Survey says WGTR tops in mornings," ''The Sun News'', Oct. 10, 1999.〕 Eventually WJXY-FM, a CHR station, put its programming on WSEA before switching to all sports. Early in 2006, Rose Rock, mother of Chris Rock, had a talk show on WSEA.〔http://www.fmqb.com/article.asp?id=162273, Retrieved on 2008/04/04.〕 Later, the station became "Hot 100," with a contemporary hit radio format, airing Bob & Sheri from Lincoln-Financial Radio's The Link in Charlotte, NC and Ace & TJ Mornings from CBS Radio's Kiss 95.1 in Charlotte, NC.〔http://hot100fm.com/skin/feature.php?sectionId=176, Retrieved on 2008/04/14.〕 "Hot 100" never really came close to "Mix 97.7" in the ratings.〔http://www.radioalaire.com/arb_myr.php, Retrieved on 2008/04/07.〕〔http://ratings.radio-online.com/cgi-bin/$rol.exe/arb510, Retrieved on 2008/04/07.〕〔http://radio-info.org/content/arbitron.php?market=159, Retrieved on 2008/04/04.〕 "Power 100.3" signed on April 4, 2009 with the sounds of Hip Hop & R&B. However, as with most Cumulus-owned stations, they were billing themselves as a Rhythmic CHR and using the slogan "#1 for Hits & Hip Hop" as the station targeted a broader multi-racial audience. WSEA 100.3 began stunting during Independence Day holiday weekend of 2010. At 10:03 am on July 5, 2010, WSEA became "i100" with a contemporary hit radio format created by Jan Jeffries, senior vice president for programming of Cumulus Media. Craig Russ was the Program Director for the station. WXJY 93.7 FM simulcast the format. On March 5, 2012, WSEA became the new Myrtle Beach affiliate of ESPN Radio, moving from sister station WJXY-FM, which picked up WSEA's contemporary hit radio format. In Fall 2012, WSEA added hourly updates from CBS Sports Radio from Boomer Esiason, Tom Tolbert, and Doug Gottlieb. The station changed from ESPN to CBS Sports Radio on January 2, 2013. The station also added an hour to the show in August 2011. ''Sports Talk'', hosted by Phil Kornblut and Kevin McCreary on stations throughout South Carolina, continued to air.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cumulus Expands local sports line up, launches new network affiliation in #MYR )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WSEA」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
