WSTK (104.5 FM) is an American radio station licensed to serve the community of Aurora, North Carolina. The station is owned by Media East, LLC. WSTK offers an Urban Contemporary Gospel format as The Vine Connection.
In October 2007, WSTK began simulcasting WLGT 98.3 FM, airing a Contemporary Christian format, branded as The Light. It was also simulcast on WEGG (710 AM) for the first month.
In March 2008, The Light brand was dropped from WSTK and WLGT. WSTK, WLGT, and WEGG were rebranded Glory Radio, all three stations operating separately. WSTK offered a Southern Gospel format.
In June 2008, WLGT became "The Promise 98.3". WEGG and WSTK were rebranded Joy 710 & 104.5 with a traditional black gospel music format, operating the same syndicated format as 1490 WWIL (AM), under LMA by the same person who operates 1490.
In October 2008, WSTK went silent due to financial difficulties, and one month later changed its call sign to "WAVQ".
On February 6, 2009, the call sign was reverted to WSTK.
In May 2009, WSTK resumed broadcasting, simulcasting WEGG. WEGG added new FM translator W240BN 95.9 FM. W240BN was located on the 710 AM tower, and broadcast with 250 watts of power. The station was rebranded as The Gospel Superstation.
On June 1, 2009, WSTK went silent once again.
On July 1, 2010, WSTK began simulcasting WEGG (710 AM) The Gospel Superstation, once again.
On September 1, 2010, WSTK broke away from the simulcast with WEGG and was rebranded as Hometown Gospel Station before going silent yet again on October 4, 2010.
On January 4, 2011, WSTK returned to the air as Your Christian Radio, broadcasting a traditional black gospel format. The station began a simulcast with WLGT-FM 98.3 on November 14, 2011.
In April 2012, WSTK and WLGT flipped to a Christian Talk format, under the same branding as Your Christian Radio.
