WLTE (95.5

Upstate South Carolina
.

The station is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to broadcast with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 6,000 watts. WLTE's transmitter is off Fire Tower Road in Piedmont.[2]

History

The 95.9 allocation was originally part of the FCC’s 2007 spectrum auction, with Georgia-Carolina Wireless, LLC, owners of

Oconee
counties.

On July 14, 2023, WLTE competed a move to 95.5 at its new transmitter site in Powdersville which gave the station more complete coverage of the Greenville portion of the market while still serving Anderson and Pickens counties. WRTH's 103.3 signal continued to serve eastern Greenville and Spartanburg county, giving the simulcast almost full market coverage. The stations' positioner was changed to "95.5 and 103.3 Earth FM, 80s and 90s Throwbacks".[3]

On August 23, 2023, an

Air 1 network shortly after.[4][5][6] The sale was consummated on November 8, 2023.[7]
