WAZS (980 kHz) is an AM radio station licensed to Summerville, South Carolina, United States, serving the Charleston area.
The FCC approved the application on October 11, 1961,[2] and WAZS began broadcasting as Summerville and Dorchester County's first radio station on June 7, 1962, featuring what its owner called "a middle-of-the road format of good music".
[6] WAZS returned to English-language programming for a time beginning in 2005, when it switched to jazz music as a result of Jabar's purchase the year before of FM station WWBZ, which became WAZS-FM and began simulcasting.
[7] With listener response being scant to the jazz format, an afternoon beach music program was added the next year.
[8] Before eventually reverting to full-time Spanish-language programming, an oldies format was instituted in 2007 as "The Rocket 980".
