History:: Started off as WRFS-FM, simulcasting Alex City local AM WRFS-AM 1050. It was top 40 formatted and had a relatively weak signal. The transmitter was moved southeast towards Auburn, as a requisite for increasing power, which they did to enter the Columbus, Georgia market. The signal also now easily penetrates the Montgomery market, which already has enough country for any Alabama town. With the power increase/tower move, the station became WSTH, South 106. In 1999, the station changed nicknames from South 106 to Rooster 106, but no format change came with the name change. The station later reverted back to the South moniker in early 2010. In May of 2015, the station began being relayed on a translator at 101.7 MHz (W269CT) to improve coverage in the city of Columbus.
