History
Former owner Centennial Broadcasting filed an agreement with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on October 6, 2020, to sell the former WINC-FM to Educational Media Foundation (EMF) for $1.75 million.[5] WINC-FM's existing music programming moved to the co-owned WXBN (105.5 FM) and WZFC (104.9 FM) ahead of the sale; Centennial also retained the rights to the WINC callsign and branding.[6] On November 18, EMF filed to operate WINC-FM as a non-commercial station upon closing.[7]
The sale closed on December 29.[3] At 2:37 pm that same day, WINC-FM abruptly signed off and around an hour later, at 3:29 pm, the station signed back on IDing with the callsign WLWX and airing EMF's Air1 network.[8][9][10] Sister station WAIW in Wheaton, Illinois, and WLWX "traded" callsigns on January 11, 2021.[11] The application to operate the station as non-commercial was approved one day later.[12]
