WXNC in Charlotte, North Carolina is a Spanish language station known as "Pepe Charlotte", also heard on WGSP at 1310 AM.^[1]

History

For many years WMAP was a 1000-watt station in Monroe, North Carolina. The station added an FM frequency at 102.3,^[2] but later separated from that station and eventually went off the air. After a two-year absence, it came back as WKRE in March 1997^[3] before the move to Charlotte, which included a signal increase to 5000 watts.

After the move to Charlotte, WXNC was a talk station known as The Conversation Station. The announcement was made that WXNC would also be heard on WKMT at 1220 AM, also owned by Kevin and Kris Geddings.^[4] But Norsan Group bought WXNC and the station soon changed to its current format and began its simulcast of the "La Tremenda" network with WGSP.^[5] At one time WGSP-FM (formerly WRML) at 102.3 FM simulcast this station.^[1]
