The station went on the air as W61CC in 1997. By 1999, it was airing the America's Store home shopping service.[2] The station switched to airing HSN in 2004 when America's Store moved to WQEX (channel 16).[3]
Local programming
editAs of the first quarter of 2020, WOSC-CD cut away from national programming for five hours each week, primarily on Sunday, to meet its local programming requirements as a Class A station. Most of their local programming was Saint Simon & Jude Parish services, which aired from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. WOSC also aired Cappelli & Company from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. Saint Simon & Jude Parish would then continue from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.[4]
On July 12, 2022, WOSC-CD added an over-the-air broadcast variant of One America News Network known as OAN Plus to its list of digital subchannels.[5][6]
