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".[3]

WTON-FM and co-owned WTON (1240 AM) were sold to Stu-Comm, Inc., the nonprofit owner of Charlottesville's WNRN-FM (91.9 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.[4]
