WQAR (Star 101.3) is an adult contemporary radio station licensed to Stillwater, New York, USA, and serving the vicinity of Saratoga County. It is the flagship station of the Anastos Media Group (an ownership concern headed by the veteran New York City TV presenter Ernie Anastos) and broadcasts at 6 kilowatts ERP from a tower in Stillwater. In addition to its key coverage area, WQAR is a rimshot into both Glens Falls and the tri-cities of Albany, Schenectady and Troy.
WQAR began broadcastling in 1988 as WSSV, a full service adult contemporary station which served mainly the nearby city of Saratoga Springs. Sold by its original owners in April 1994, the station reimaged itself as WJKE (The Jockey), a name referring to the nearby Saratoga Race Course. When WJKE became the first station bought by the Anastos Media Group in October 1998, the station was rebranded again with the current WQAR (Star 101.3) calls and name.
WQAR broadcasts the nationally-syndicated John Tesh Radio Show as Saratoga County's official home on week nights from 7 pm to midnight and again Sundays as a weekend edition from 6 to 9 pm.
