History

The station signed on the air on September 18, 1941, as WSRR. It became WSTC in 1946; the following year, it added an FM station, WSTC-FM. From the 1950s through the 1980s, WSTC was a full service, middle of the road station, featuring popular adult music with local news and sports.
WSTC and WNLK in Norwalk were sold by Cox Radio, Inc. in 2011 and were initially operated by Sacred Heart via a local marketing agreement. Prior to then, WSTC and WNLK simulcast a commercial news/talk format.
On January 25, 2016, WSTC dropped its public radio simulcast with WSHU and went silent. It returned to the air on June 1, 2016, with a format of adult standards with some talk shows. That format lasted only a little more than a year. On July 10, 2017, WSTC returned to a simulcast of WSHU.
