History

former logo

660 signed on the air in March 1947 as WESC. The station was for many years a country music outlet branded "660 in Dixie", sister to WESC-FM, which was beautiful music at first, then later country music. Throughout the mid-late 20th century, WESC was frequently the highest rated station in the Greenville market.

In 1994, while simulcasting WESC-FM most of the time, WESC picked up The Fabulous Sports Babe.^[1]

The station carried its country music format until early 2000, when it was purchased by Clear Channel Communications, who leased AM 660 to Radio Training Network Inc. (owners of WLFJ-FM), which placed a Christian Talk format on the station under the WLFJ callsign. The country music format continues on WESC-FM.

As of 2009, it is one of four AM radio stations operating at 50,000 watts in the state of South Carolina, the others being WBAJ, WAGL, and WCEO.

Translators

In 2010, WLFJ launched a translator at 92.9 FM in the Greenville area. This move allows the station to operate over the air 24-hours a day on FM (as opposed to daytime only at 660 AM).
