The 80's Til Now (January-November)
WSRW-FM (105.7 FM, "Star 105.7"), Grand Rapids, Michigan, is an adult contemporary music formatted radio station on the frequency of 105.7 FM. It is heard as far east as Fowlerville, Michigan, and as far north as Big Rapids, Michigan. The station can also be heard as far south as Lagrange, Indiana
WSRW-FM is a Class B "grandfathered superpower" station. The maximum ERP that would be granted today, using the same antenna height of 247 meters, would be 19,000 Watts.
The smooth jazz format available on HD2 is also available online at: http://www.iheart.com/live/smooth-jazz-4242/
The station signed on for the first time as WOOD-FM in 1962. WOOD-FM aired a beautiful music format for decades, which in the early 1990s evolved into the AC format.
WSRW-FM is promoted as Star 105.7 FM. Prior to adopting the "Star" name on November 12, 2001, the station had been known as "EZ 105.7." Presumably the name change was made to help dispel the station's image of being an "elevator music" station. The station's playlist was tweaked to become a brighter, more upbeat AC, which also meant dropping songs by "MOR" or "easy listening" artists such as Barbra Streisand, Barry Manilow and the Carpenters.
