WINS-FM (92.3 MHz) is a radio station licensed to New York, New York, and owned by Audacy, Inc. WINS-FM simulcasts all-news radio station WINS (AM) (1010 kHz), with the station referred to on air as "1010 WINS on 92-3 FM". The station's studios are located in the Hudson Square neighborhood in Manhattan. WINS-FM is a class B station with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 6,000 watts. Its transmitter is located at the Empire State Building. WINS-FM also broadcasts in HD Radio. Originally co-owned with WMCA, this station has featured a series of contemporary music, soft rock, classic rock, mellow rock, alternative rock and hot talk formats from 1975 to 2022. As the home of "Disco 92 WKTU", this station overtook WABC as New York's top-rated hit music station in the late 1970s. In 1985, the station became "K-Rock". Howard Stern was hired, giving WXRK a ratings boost. "The Howard Stern Show" was later nationally syndicated from WXRK via owner Infinity Broadcasting Corporation. WXRK's format varied between different iterations of rock, including classic and alternative, until Stern's highly publicized departure for Sirius Satellite Radio forced a relaunch. In 2006, it became WFNY, the flagship station of CBS Radio's Free FM hot talk format. WFNY's failure resulted in the station reverting to rock in 2007 as WXRK with holdover morning hosts Opie and Anthony. In 2009, it again flipped to Top 40, first as "92.3 NOW", and then as "92.3 AMP Radio" WBMP in 2014. The day that CBS Radio's Reverse Morris Trust merger into Entercom closed in November 2017, WBMP was relaunched as alternative WNYL. On October 27, 2022, the station switched to a full-time simulcast of WINS (1010 AM), and changed its call sign to WINS-FM.
