History

On May 6, 2013, at 10am, after promoting that morning that "WINK-FM will be a thing of the past", WINK-FM changed their format from hot adult contemporary to adult contemporary, branded as "96.9 More FM".[1] The first songs on More-FM were Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" and Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble".

In October 2015, the station came back to its past as it went back to the 96.9 WINK FM branding and its format stayed adult contemporary.
