WSTR (FM)

WSTR (94.1 FM, "Star 94") is an radio station licensed to Smyrna, Georgia, and serving the Atlanta metropolitan area.

[2] Jupiter Broadcasting of Georgia, then the owner of WQXI (790 AM), purchased WDJK in January 1965, with Kent Burkhart serving as vice president and general manager.

[3] WDJK's call sign was changed to WKXI and a beautiful music format was installed, with studios at 2970 Peachtree Road NW in Atlanta.

[4][5] WQXI-FM notably carried a smooth jazz-themed program called Jazz Flavors during the 1980s, first airing on Sunday evenings before eventually expanding to weeknights.

Despite the seeming incompatibility between it and contemporary hits, this program ran on WQXI-FM for several years, eventually serving as the genesis for the "Jazz Flavors" branding on WJZF (104.1 FM) when that station became the first one in the Atlanta market to adopt the format full-time.

The station initially avoided most hip-hop and rhythmic-oriented music hitting the Top 40 charts, though it added some rhythmic songs in the mid-1990s.

[13] After WAPW flipped to modern rock as WNNX in October 1992, WSTR was considered the "default" hit music station in Atlanta due to the lack of a mainstream Top 40 outlet.

On December 8, 2014, Entercom announced its purchase of Lincoln Financial Media's entire 15-station lineup, including WSTR and WQXI, for $106.5 million.
