Additional Information
"Star 107.9" operated from May 1998 until July 24, 2001, and played primarily Top 40-based '80s music. The station is widely credited as the first radio station in the U.S. to broadcast an '80s-based format full-time. The call letters (WXST) were inspired by the former WXGT ("92X") in Columbus. The web site ( http://www.star1079.com ) for "Star 107.9" has been restored and now operates as a tribute site to the original WXST "Star 107.9", once again streaming 80's hits, along with voice overs by the original DJs, biographies and detailed history of WXST "Star 107.9".
Before committing to '80s music, WXST 'stunted' briefly by airing a freeform mix of music promoted on-air as the "Wheel of Formats".
Prior to 1998, the station operated using the call letters WLYR (as "Lite Rock 108"). Before becoming WLYR, the station operated as WCEZ (as "Easy 108".)
