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.

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.
