History

WCPL-FM was located in Pageland, South Carolina. In 1989, the station became WMAP-FM and began airing the same programming as WMAP in Monroe, North Carolina [cite news |first=Gene |last=Stowe |title=Monroe's WMAP Radio Picks Up S.C. Station |work=The Charlotte Observer |date=1989-06-24] . After WMAP-AM went off the air [cite news |first=Steve |last=Lyttle |title=New Radio Station Will Slip Into Old Spot on the Dial |work=The Charlotte Observer |date=1997-03-21] , the FM, later known as WRML, played Southern gospel music. In 2006, Norsan took over the station and made plans to move the transmitter closer to the metropolitan area [cite news |first=Franco |last=Ordoñez |title=City's Top Spanish-Language Radio Station Leaping to FM - WGSP-AM Will Begin Simulcasting Today on WRML 102.3 |work=The Charlotte Observer |date=2006-03-01] . Charlotte listeners began receiving the stronger signal in September 2007.

The station was assigned the WGSP-FM call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on September 26, 2007.cite web |title=Call Sign History |url=http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/call_hist.pl?Facility_id=57452 |work=FCC Media Bureau CDBS Public Access Database]
