WSTC (1400 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a news talk information format. Licensed to Stamford, Connecticut, USA, the station serves the Stamford-Norwalk area and simulcasts on WNLK. The station is owned by Cox Radio and features programing from CNN Radio, Premiere Networks and Dial Global.[2][3] Although WSTC is the main station, its studios are currently located in Norwalk, the city of license of WNLK; Cox will not renew the lease on this studio (which had earlier been vacated by WCTZ and WFOX) when it expires at the end of November 2011,[4] and WSTC/WNLK will be sold to Sacred Heart University to become public radio stations operated by WSHU. Sacred Heart will begin its operation of the stations on November 7, 2011 via a local marketing agreement.[5]
