WTON-FM

WTON-FM is an adult album alternative formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Staunton, Virginia, serving Staunton and Augusta County, Virginia. WTON is owned and operated by Stu-Comm, Inc, and relays Charlottesville-based WNRN-FM full-time.

History

The station first took its callsign on February 11, 1988 and officially launched in November 1990 with a Light Adult Contemporary format, branded as "Star 94.3". In mid-January 2005, WTON switched to Classic Hits and Classic rock, as "Classic Hits; Star 94.3".
WTON-FM and co-owned WTON were sold to Stu-Comm, Inc., the nonprofit owner of Charlottesville's WNRN-FM, on September 25, 2023. The purchase gave WNRN-FM full coverage of the lower Shenandoah valley and replaced a previous low-powered translator serving Staunton and Waynesboro.
