[edit] WINC-FM
WINC-FM is "92.5 WINC FM" (pronounced WINK), an Adult Contemporary radio station serving the Shenandoah Valley and Northern Virginia, the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, parts of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and the Washington D.C. metropolitan area broadcasting from Winchester, Virginia.
WINC-FM has an unusually strong signal for an FM station, due to its transmitter being atop a mountain and its power being grandfathered in. It can be easily heard in the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington DC and can even be heard at times as far south as Richmond. It regularly contests for supremacy in the Winchester market with Q102 WUSQ-FM, a country music station.
[edit] WINC-AM
WINC-AM broadcasting on 1400 AM, features mostly "right-leaning" talk and news updates from FOX News Radio. WINC-AM uses the slogan "The Right Side of the AM Dial", but this is not in reference to its programming, as AM1400 is actually on right side of a dial radio. WINC-AM carries sports from the Baltimore Orioles and the Baltimore Ravens.
[edit] History
WINC-FM is owned by Mid-Atlantic Network, Inc., a family owned corporation and licensee of six radio stations in Winchester and Fredericksburg, Virginia.
Richard F. Lewis, Jr. began the operation in 1939 when he, as a California resident, answered an advertisement in "Broadcasting Magazine", in which the Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce requested a radio station operator for the community. He formed the Fredericksburg Broadcasting Corporation, and founded station WFVA.
Two years later, Mr. Lewis moved to Winchester and built station WINC-AM. WINC-AM went on the air on June 26, 1941. Lweis eventually built and acquired additional radio stations, including one of the nation's first FM Radio stations, WINC-FM. WINC-FM signed on as WRFL, in honor of its founder.
