WTQS (1490 AM) is a radio station licensed to Cameron, South Carolina, United States, serving the Orangeburg-Calhoun area. The station is currently owned by Peter Schiff, through licensee Community Broadcasters, LLC, and is a simulcast of WFRK in Florence.[1]

On May 11, 2015 WTQS was granted a Federal Communications Commission construction permit to move to 1500 kHz, construct a new taller and much more efficient antenna, downgrade from Class C to Class D, increase day power to 5,000 watts, decrease critical hours power from 1,000 watts to 730 watts and discontinue operation at night.[2] The FM station is a 24-7 station.

Programming is conservative talk radio, with notable programs outside WFRK's morning show including Glenn Beck, The O'Reilly Report, Dan Bongino, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, and Brian Kilmeade.
