WSTV (104.9 MHz) is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Roanoke, Virginia, serving Metro Roanoke and the New River Valley. WSTV has an adult hits format[1] WSTV is owned and operated by iHeartMedia.[5]

WSTV broadcasts an alternative rock format on 104.9 HD2.[6]

On May 1, 2019, the station changed its call letters to WSTV in anticipation of the adult hits-formatted "Steve FM" moving from WSFF (106.1 FM) and WSNZ (101.7 FM), which were in the process of being sold to Educational Media Foundation. Concurrently, the WJJS calls were moved to sister station WSNV in anticipation of the CHR format moving to the 93.5 frequency. The frequency move was completed on May 30, 2019.[7]
