The original Construction Permit granted on July 15, 2005 called for 10 kW from a short 98' tower. After having an application to modify to 14 kW dismissed by the FCC due to a small overlap in coverage area of WCSG, a construction permit for 11.5 Kw directional signal from a 249 feet (75.9 m) tower was approved on May 2, 2007.
During the final stages of station construction the construction permit was modified to a 2.9 Kw non-directional signal from a much shorter 98 feet (29.9 m) tower in order to get the station on the air before the construction permit expired. The station was granted a construction for the originally approved power, directional pattern, and tower height on May 20, 2010.
On December 27, 2010, the station began broadcasting with increased power.
