History
editThe 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 to 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.[3] 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.[4]
Translators
editIn addition to the main station, WSTM is relayed by an additional translator to serve the city of Sheboygan, along with nearby Kohler.
