WQAR (Star 101.3) is an adult contemporary radio station licensed to Stillwater, New York and serving Saratoga County, New York and vicinity. The station is owned by the Anastos Media Group (an ownership concern headed by veteran New York City TV anchor Ernie Anastos) and broadcasts at 6 kilowatts ERP from a tower in Stillwater. In addition to its key coverage area, WQAR is a rimshot into both Glens Falls and the tri-cities of Albany, Schenectady, and Troy.

WQAR signed on in 1989 as WSSV, a full service adult contemporary station which served mainly the nearby city of Saratoga Springs. Sold from its original owners in April 1994, the station reimaged itself as WJKE (The Jockey), a name owing to the nearby Saratoga Race Course. When WJKE became the first station bought by the Anastos Media Group in October 1998, the station was rebranded again with the now-current WQAR (Star 101.3) calls and name.
