WEND (106.5 FM) – branded 106.5 The End – is a commercial alternative rock radio station licensed to Salisbury, North Carolina, serving primarily the Charlotte metropolitan area, as well as parts of the Piedmont Triad.

Owned by iHeartMedia, WEND is the local affiliate for Skratch 'N Sniff and the home of radio personalities, the Woody & Wilcox Show, & Chris Rozak.

[3] Doug Rice (now Speedway Motorsports radio play-by-play announcer) joined WSTP and WRDX in 1977, working a variety of on-air jobs and eventually becoming morning host and program director.

Dalton Group, owner of WWMG in Charlotte, bought WRDX and WSTP for $3 million in 1995 and began operating the stations under a local marketing agreement.

[5] In May, WRDX changed its call letters to WEND, adopted its current format,[6] with artists such as Pearl Jam and Nirvana[7] and moved its studios to Charlotte.

[12] During 2014, Woody & Wilcox added three other affiliates: KKZX in Spokane, Washington; KKED in Fairbanks, Alaska on September 29;[13] and KPAW in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Representatives of the two networks were positive over the new deal, as WEND provides better over-the-air coverage of North Carolina than previous rightsholder WRHM.
