Because it shares the same frequency as clear-channel stations WOR in New York City and KGO in San Francisco, WPOG is a daytimer, required to go off the air at night when radio waves travel farther. The station's programming is heard around the clock on co-owned WWOS-FM 91.9 in St. George, South Carolina. WPOG is also simulcast on AM 810 WWOS in Walterboro, South Carolina.

History

On August 15, 1975, the station first signed on as WQKI.[3] It was owned by the Central Carolina Broadcasting Corporation and aired a country music format.

gollark: Yes. I tested on that and it got consistent 30ms ping times.
gollark: The idea is that if my server failed, skynet clients could just swap over to another one.
gollark: Log syncing would break things.
gollark: Huh, I have no idea what just happened but it seems like my WiFi connection fixed itself: I'm getting a sensible TX/RX bitrate, latency is sensible and my bandwidth jumped by a factor of 10?
gollark: It's not about load balancing, the Rust version is waaay faster so that isn't an issue, it's for if (when...) my server goes down.
