Winner of the 2001 SC Municipal Association Achievement Award

Radio Georgetown is a low power AM radio station designed to accomplish two goals.  Its primary goal is to keep city residents informed about special disaster information.  After Hugo in 1989, it was very hard for City Residents to get information about help and assistance.  During the 1996 Hurricane Season, two storms brushed our coast causing a full evacuation of the beaches and coastline.  Miles of evacuating motorists clogged the highways and needed information.

Now when the City needs to get information our we simply "Go On The Air" and provide information directly to motorists and residents.

During "non-emergency" times, the station continuously broadcasts information about the Tourism sites available around the City and on traffic conditions, highways, area history and city government.
