The format did not do well and in January 1996 WVNJ flipped to an adult standards format known as "The Station Of The Stars" featuring the music of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, The Mills Brothers, Peggy Lee, Tommy Dorsey, Ray Charles, Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Bing Crosby, McGuire Sisters, Bobby Darin, Perry Como, Glenn Miller, Sammy Davis Jr., and many others.
The station stayed away from baby boomer pop with the exception of quazi-rock and roll artists like Ray Charles.
When the format first began, the station remained playing music, more talk shows and infomercials were added as 2007 rolled in.
The replacement was a talk show hosted by Sam Greenfield[3] (formerly of WEVD and WWRL) and long time WVNJ announcer Pete Buckey.
On September 13, 2018, it was announced that Universal Broadcasting of New York was selling WVNJ to Immaculate Heart Media.
