WCCP/1560 signed on in 1969 by Matt Phillips (who later founded WRIX-AM-FM in Anderson, South Carolina). The callsign was previously assigned to Savannah, Georgia on 1450 kHz; that station became WBYG and is not longer on the air. Former CBS Morning News anchor Jane Robelot worked at WCCP in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
On April 23, 2007 WAHT changed its format to sports, simulcasting WCCP-FM (then at 104.9).
