History

WAAW signed on the air in late 1995 with a classic R&B format as "94.7 The Boss". It was owned by legendary soul music singer James Brown under his company Brown Family Broadcasting.
Brown sold the station in 2002 and the format was changed to urban gospel.
On June 8, 2023, due to owner Dr. Frank Neely's retirement, it was announced that it would drop the urban gospel format on July 3, resulting in a format change to sports talk, and become an affiliate of Fox Sports Radio. In addition to the change, it was also announced that an unknown radio company would operate the station though a LMA agreement. The LMA agreement was finally confirmed on June 28, when Gray Radio LLC, announced that it would partner with the station to officially launch "Fox Sports 94.7 FM Augusta". Coinciding with the change, it was announced that WAAW would become the new home for the Masters.
On May 7, 2025, WAAW changed their format from sports to gospel, branded as "Shout 94.7".
