WAVF is a commercial radio station located in Hanahan, South Carolina, broadcasting to the Charleston area on 101.7 FM. WAVF airs an adult hits music format branded as "Chuck FM." Before moving to 101.7, the WAVF call sign had been on the 96.1 FM frequency in Charleston since 1985.
Founder and Tin Man Broadcasting Managing Partner Paul W Robinson (Emerald City Media Partners) launched WAVF on March 11, 1985 on 96.1 FM as "96 Wave" with sound effects of ocean waves over a period of a week. When the stunt was over, the station debuted with an Album Rock format. Over time, 96 Wave shifted its format to Alternative.
Atom Taler worked at 96 Wave nine years. For the last three of those years he was joined by Jim Voigt, known as "The Critic". Their popular morning show, which was beginning to decline, was replaced February 23, 1998 by Howard Stern. Ratings fell still further, but program director Rob Cressman pointed out ratings increased from a year earlier. He also said the station would improve with a format that relied less on alternative. After a year and a half, Stern had the market's no. 1 morning show. WAVF also brought back The Critic for afternoons.
Dices que oyes voces casi cada noche, crees que te voy a engaar. Ven, no te equivoques, sintate, se un hombre, aclaremos dudas y en paz, si los amigos no me ven suficiente bien para ti, me importa un higo, eres tu, solo tu, quien vas a decidir... Mrame a los ojos, no dir nada, mira mis ojos, no me des la espalda. Mrame a los ojos, sobran las palabras, mira mis ojos ve lo que siento. Mrame a los ojos, no dir nada, mira mis ojos, no me des la espalda, mrame a los ojos, sobran las palabras, mira mis ojos, dime lo que ves ah. Desde los zapatos a lo que hay debajo, el peinado, todo, te di. Sin trampa ni cuento, ni gato encerrado, tal como tena que ocurrir. Hoy si tu mano toma fuerte la ma, es elctrico, la adrenalina, nos coloca a los dos, creo que esto es amor... Mrame a los ojos, no dir nada, mira mis ojos, no me des la espalda, mrame a los ojos, sobran las palabras, mira mis ojos, ve lo que siento por ti... Mrame a los ojos, mira mis ojos, mrame a los ojos, mira mis ojos. Hoy si tu mano toma fuerte la ma es elctrico, la adrenalina nos coloca a los dos, creo que esto es amor. Mrame a los ojos, no dir nada....... Mrame a los ojos ve lo que siento por ti.
