WINQ (AM)

WINQ (1490 kHz; "WINK Country") is an AM radio station licensed to serve Brattleboro, Vermont.

WINQ simulcasts the country music programming of Keene, New Hampshire, sister station WINQ-FM.

The station had previously been assigned the WKVT call letters by the Federal Communications Commission.

[3] WKVT was part of a network of progressive talk stations throughout the northeastern United States that are owned by Saga Communications (others including WNYY in Ithaca, New York, WHMP in Northampton, Massachusetts, WHNP in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts, and WHMQ in Greenfield, Massachusetts); these, in turn, were among the last progressive talk stations still on the air in early 2017.

Because of the migration of most progressive talk shows to off-air platforms, Saga announced plans to begin dropping the format in February 2017; WNYY was the first to change,[4] followed by WHNP,[5] with most of the other stations in the network likely to follow.
