W234CH (94.7 FM) is a radio station licensed to Girard, Ohio, USA, that serves the Youngstown-Warren area featuring a Urban adult contemporary format. The station is owned by Y-Town radio broadcasting and airs The Steve Harvey Morning Show from 6 am to 10 am, and "The Keith Sweat Hotel" from 7 pm to midnight. [1]
On December 28, 2012, the station was sold to Helen M. Bednarczyk, wife of WGFT and WASN general manager Ted "Skip" Bednarczyk for $25,000.[2]
The station has a construction permit to relocate to 93.7 FM and broadcast from the WKBN tower in Youngstown.
On May 11, 2014, at 10 am, after stunting for 3 days with the sound of a ticking clock, the station launched with an urban adult contemporary format being simulcast on WGFT-AM to fill the void of Jamz 101.9 that went off the air in December 2012, as Star 93.7, also launching with 5,000 songs in a row commercial free. The first song on Star 93.7 was Black Or White by Michael Jackson.
During the Spring of 2014, Star moved from 93.7 to 94.7. This helped the signal interfence from nearby KDKA-FM.
The station had been owned by Richard P. Marburger LLC and simulcasted Christian format WGOJ.
