History
For many years, WELS-FM aired a gospel music format, simulcast with their AM sister station (1150 AM). On February 14, 2013, after an ownership change, the station changed to classic hits as "102.9 WELS". The AM station switched to a news/talk format.
On June 27, 2017, WELS-FM changed their format from classic hits to beach music, as Beach, Boogie and Blues, simulcasting WNCT (1070 AM) in Greenville.[2]
On May 1, 2023, WELS-FM flipped back to gospel music as Praise 102.9.
Translators
In addition to the two originating stations WELS and WNCT, Beach, Boogie and Blues is relayed by an additional three FM translators to expand its broadcast area. The translators are fed by WIKS-HD2.
