WSSR (96.7 FM, "Star 96-7") is a radio station broadcasting a hot adult contemporary format.

[1] The station shared its studios and transmitter site with the AM in Joliet, where it broadcast with an ERP of 1,000 watts at a height above average terrain (HAAT) of 125 feet.

[11][18][19] In early 1995, WLLI was sold to Barden Broadcasting, which changed the station's format to hot AC.

[26][27] During this time the station carried the Motor Racing Network broadcasts of what was then known as the Winston Cup Series.

After 15 seconds of dead air and a minute of stunting with radio sounds, this led to the launch of the station's new adult contemporary format as "Star 96.7".

WSSR and NextMedia's 32 other radio stations were sold to Digity, LLC for $85 million; the transaction was consummated on February 10, 2014.

[36] Effective February 25, 2016, Digity, LLC and its 124 radio stations were acquired by Alpha Media for $264 million.
