During the 1960s, the station carried the call letters WINX and broadcast a Top-40 format. It was located at 8 Baltimore Road off Church Street near the intersection of Veirs Mill Road and Rockville Pike. It was consistently the third-ranked Top 40 station in the ratings, following WPGC and WEAM. The station shifted to an oldies format in 1993 (simulcast on FM 94.3 Warrenton), then followed by a short stint as top-40 again around 1998 in the FM dominated market. In 2000, it was sold to Mega then Multicultural. At that time, it converted to Spanish-language programming.
