History

The station signed on the air on September 18, 1941; Template:Time ago (1941-Error: Invalid time.-18)Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".. The call sign was WSRR. From the 1950s through the 80s, it was a full service, middle of the road station, featuring popular adult music with local news and sports. In 1947, it added an FM station, WSTC-FM (now WARW).

WSTC was sold by Cox Radio, Inc. in 2011 and was initially operated by Sacred Heart via a local marketing agreement (LMA). Prior to 2011, WSTC and WNLK 1350 AM in Norwalk, Connecticut simulcast a commercial news/talk format.[2]

On January 25, 2016, WSTC dropped its public radio simulcast with WSHU 1260 AM 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 NPR news/talk-formatted WSHU 1260 AM Westport.[3]
