Our friends over at Ursus Brew Works has announced a really cool collaboration with Park Place Stadium Cinemas! Check out the info below from their page:

“We are excited to partner with Park Place Cinemas here in Charleston for "Dinner and a Movie Night"! This promotion will go until the end of the year! If you come to Ursus Brew Works and present a same day movie ticket stub you will get 10% off of your check and if you present a same day receipt from Ursus Brew Works you can get a $7 movie ticket! We are within walking distance of each other so sounds like a winning combination if you ask me!!!”

We love seeing businesses working together ❤️

Looks like we have an extended internet connection issue going on at our antennae site. Due to this problem our FM signal is down. BUT our streaming service is still going strong and pushing out the tunes! You can still listen to your favorite independent radio station through the WTSQ app & on our website at WTSQ.org

Thank you for your patience. We hope this issue will be resolved quickly, so we can get the FM signal back up and running as soon as possible.
