WSIC is the radio and TV home of four-time Emmy Award winner and legendary Charlotte sportscaster Harold Johnson who hosts the station’s Morning Show. Johnson is the former Sports Director of WSOC-TV in Charlotte. His show on WSIC is a unique mix of politics and fun. The station produces an average of five hours of local television and radio programming every weekday morning.

The station started service on May 3, 1947,[1] along with its former sister station WMKS (originally WSIC-FM, then WFMX before splitting off in July 2006). The pair was the first AM and FM radio stations to sign on simultaneously in the nation. Some of WSIC's alumni include Ty Boyd and Harold Johnson. The station is owned by Iredell Broadcasting, Inc.
