WPST (94.5 MHz) is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Trenton, New Jersey and serving the Central Jersey area, as well as adjacent portions of the Philadelphia/Delaware Valley media market. The station airs a Top 40/CHR radio format and is owned by Connoisseur Media.

Studios and offices are on Alexander Road in Princeton, New Jersey. The transmitter is located off Business Route US-1 in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania. WPST also operates a 250 watt FM translator station on 107.5 MHz, W298CJ in Ewansville, New Jersey.

The station first signed on the air at 94.5 MHz on August 7, 1965 as WCHR with a religious format. (The call letters referred to Christ.) But after 33 years, that all changed when Nassau Broadcasting Partners bought the station. November 10, 1997 saw the beginning of things to come when the FM station began to simulcast its programming on its co-owned AM station, WCHR 920 AM, in preparation for a format switch. On February 27, 1998, 94.5 FM started stunting with construction sound effects. On March 2, 1998 94.5 became "New Jersey's Oldies Station." The call letters WNJO were assigned on March 26, 1998.
