History

WSNW is the oldest radio station in Oconee County. WSNW was an adult standards radio station whose programming could also be heard on WBFM. In 2008, WSNW added an FM translator station on 103.3 MHz. In March 2014, WSNW became part of the Georgia-Carolina Radiocasting Company, changed formats to adult contemporary music, and its translator moved from 103.3 FM to 94.1 FM, taking on the brand name, "The Lake." The focus of the station shifted away from local news and talk radio, and no longer hosts any talk radio programming. Effective February 7, 2020, Georgia-Carolina Radiocasting donated the license for WSNW to Toccoa Foundation, Inc.
