The Hometown Columbia outlet is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to broadcast with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 15 kW.
The 92.1 frequency originally signed on in late 1985 as WJRQ in Saluda, South Carolina, featuring a middle of the road format.
WJES-FM's license was changed to Irmo and the station increased its power to the present 15 kW with a country music format adopted under the WWNU call sign, and the name "New 92.1".
[2] On June 29, 2012, at 5 p.m., after playing "What Might Have Been" by Little Texas, WWNU flipped to Adult Album Alternative as "92.1 The Palm", with the first song being "Ho Hey" by the Lumineers, followed by "Friday I'm in Love" by The Cure.
[3][4] Mike Allen moved from WCOO in Charleston, South Carolina to serve as music director and morning host.
