win 92

WINS-FM (92.3 MHz) is a radio station licensed to New York, New York and owned by Audacy, Inc. WINS-FM simulcasts an all-news radio format branded as "1010 WINS"; with the call sign phonetically pronounced as "wins". The station's studios are located in the Hudson Square neighborhood in Manhattan and its transmitter is located at the Empire State Building. WINS-FM also broadcasts in HD Radio.
Originally the FM adjunct to WMCA, this station has featured a series of contemporary music, rock, hot talk and alternative rock formats from 1975 to 2022. As the home of disco-formatted WKTU, this station overtook WABC as the top-rated hit music station in the late 1970s. Becoming "K-Rock" WXRK in 1985, Howard Stern was hired as morning host, with his talk show eventually becoming nationally syndicated via owner Infinity Broadcasting Corporation. WXRK's format varied between different iterations of rock, including classic and alternative rock, until Stern's highly publicized departure for Sirius Satellite Radio forced a relaunch as WFNY, the flagship of CBS Radio's Free FM hot talk format, in 2006. WFNY's failure resulted in the station reverting to rock in 2007 as WXRK with holdover morning hosts Opie and Anthony, but again flipped to Top 40 as "92.3 NOW" in 2009. In a bid to rejuvenate ratings, the station was rebranded "92.3 AMP FM" WBMP in 2014. The day that CBS Radio's Reverse Morris Trust merger into Entercom (now Audacy, Inc.) closed in November 2017, WBMP was relaunched as alternative WNYL.
On October 27, 2022, the station switched to a full-time simulcast of WINS, one of the two all-news stations in Audacy's New York portfolio.
