WEND-FM (106.5 The "End"), is a modern rock radio station based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Owned by Clear Channel Communications, the station broadcasts at 106.5 MHz with an ERP of 84kw. The station is licensed to Salisbury and its transmitter is located there as well. WEND's signal makes it into most of the Piedmont Triad region as well.

[edit] History

WRDX in Salisbury, North Carolina played country prior to a signal increase in 1985 that allowed the station to cover both Charlotte and Greensboro-High Point-Winston Salem. At that time the station switched to satellite adult contemporary. Late in the 1980s the station began playing more oldies, especially from the category of beach music. When the announcement was made of the move to Charlotte along with the change to the current format, numerous letters of protest appeared in the Salisbury Post. After the move, WEND moved its tower farther south to cover Charlotte.
