WQKI-FM has a construction permit issued by the Federal Communications Commission to move its frequency to 95.7 MHz and slightly increase its effective radiated power (ERP) to 4,000 watts from the current output of 3,100 watts.[2]

History

The station went on the air as WIGL on December 8, 1987. On November 7, 2003, the station changed its call sign to the current WQKI.[3]

WQKI planned a move to 95.7 FM in Batesburg-Leesville; the owner was Willis Broadcasting from Tennessee before the station was later purchased by Miller Communications, Inc.[4]

Miller Communications sold WQKI-FM, eleven other South Carolina radio stations, and several translators to Community Broadcasters, LLC for $2.5 million, in a transaction that was consummated on January 7, 2016.
