History

In November 2020, the then-WXBN flipped to Hot Adult Contemporary, assuming the Hot Adult Contemporary format and "WINC-FM" (pronounced "Wink FM") branding previously heard on the Winchester-based 92.5 frequency (which is being sold to the Educational Media Foundation).[5][6] The station would take over the WINC-FM legacy callsign on December 29, 2020.[1]
