WINS (1010 kHz), known on-air as "Ten-Ten Wins", is a radio station in New York City, owned by CBS Radio. WINS's studios are in the combined CBS Radio facility in the Hudson Square area of Manhattan, and transmitting towers in Lyndhurst, New Jersey. WINS is the oldest all-news radio station in the United States, broadcasting in that format continuously since 1965. WINS can be heard in the HD Radio format.〔http://hdradio.com/station_guides/widget.php?id=45〕 ==History== The station began broadcasting first during 1924 on 950 kHz as WGBS, named after and broadcasting from its owner, Gimbels department store. It moved to 860 kHz sometime around 1927, and to 600 around 1930, settling on 1180 around 1931. The station was bought by William Randolph Hearst in 1932, and it adopted its present callsign (named after Hearst's International News Service) the same year,〔"Hearst buys WGBS, plans improvement." ''Broadcasting'', October 15, 1931, pg. 12. ()〕 effective January 15. WINS relocated from the Hotel Lincoln to the WINS Building, 114 East 58th Street, June 19, 1932. It changed its frequency from 1180 to 1000 on March 29, 1941 as part of the North American Radio Broadcasting Agreement and then eventually to 1010 on October 30, 1943. The Cincinnati-based Crosley Broadcasting Corporation announced its purchase of the station from Hearst in 1945,〔"WINS sold to Crosley for $1,700,000." ''Broadcasting - Broadcast Advertising'', January 29, 1945, pp. 13, 66. () ()〕 though it would be over a year before Crosley would take control of WINS, in July 1946.〔"WINS sale to Crosley approved by FCC." ''Broadcasting - Telecasting'', July 23, 1946, pg. 17.
