History

The station went on the air as WSTM on May 12, 1998, becoming the second sister station to WJUB (1420) in its history on-air (from 1990–1995, WXER was run as a sister station from the WPLY-WJUB facility). On October 25, 2002 the station changed its call sign to the current WSTM.[2] The merger between Evangel and The Family stations occurred in mid-2017; WJUB was considered surplus to the sale, and was sold to Galaxie Broadcasting, a company made up of Stuart Muck and longtime WJUB on-air programmer and personality Dave Hendrickson, who will continue to maintain the station's format as-is.[3]

Translators

In addition to the main station, WSTM is relayed by an additional translator to serve the city of Sheboygan, along with nearby Kohler.

gollark: Floats aren't unique to JS, but the apiological thing is that it has ONLY floats. Even Lua fixed that.
gollark: OR ARE THEY?
