STAR 88.3 is owned by STAR Educational Media Network, a not-for-profit 501c3 entity that was formed in the Spring of 2009. Prior to the sale of the station in October of 2009, STAR 88.3 was owned by the Indiana District-Lutheran Church Missouri Synod for 23 years. They knew the potential for the station’s growth, but also recognized the opportunity to increase support for its missions programs and decided to sell the station. After much prayer and searching, the STAR 88.3 Management Team led by General Manager Melissa Montana seized the opportunity, formed the new company and began the work on buying the station. In June of 2009, an offer was accepted to purchase the station. After FCC approval and other legal matters, the transfer of ownership took place on Friday, October 30, 2009.

In 2010, STAR acquired a full-powered signal in the Angola area (the Lakes) at 91.3 FM.

In 2015, a full-powered signal in Darke County OH at 88.9 FM was acquired by STAR to go along with our existing network of translator signals in Kendallville, Warsaw, Auburn, and Richmond.

In 2020, STAR was able to purchase WEAX in Angola from Trine University as they no longer had the desire to keep operating a full power radio signal. Since the station operated on the same 88.3 FM frequency, it was an incredible opportunity for STAR to acquire this license so that we could more easily expand our reach in Northern Indiana on 88.3.
