The station immediately went into its temporary format, playing 300 song hooks an hour and promising an announcement at 5:10p on JUNE 2nd. A meme-driven social media campaign kicked in as well. At precisely 5:10p, the station was relaunched with new call letters (WSSI) and a locally-programmed Classic Hits format as 'The Golden Isles Greatest Hits, 92.7 SSI.' The station began its launch with a promise to play 10,000 songs in a row with no commercials. GM BRYAN STEELE was unable to comment, being in a state of apoplexy with no commercial inventory for the foreseeable future."
