History

On July 1, 1976, WLTR first

signed on the air. Over time, more stations were added to the network of non-commercial FM outlets around the state, run jointly with South Carolina Educational Television (SCETV). All the FM stations largely simulcast

the programming originating on flagship WLTR, a mix of NPR news and information on weekday mornings and afternoons, with mostly classical music heard middays, nights and weekends. By the end of the 1990s, many non-commercial NPR stations around the country were eliminating music from their schedules and focusing on all news, talk and information formats.

In 2001, the statewide network of South Carolina Educational Radio Network stations was split, with stations WRJA-FM in Sumter, WJWJ-FM in Beaufort and WHMC-FM in Conway carrying all NPR and local news and information programming. WLTR continued with its format, featuring news and information in mornings and afternoons, with some classical music and other musical programs, middays, nights and weekends. 89.3 WSCI Charleston and 90.1 WEPR Greenville continue to simulcast WLTR.
