Cleveland Radio: WELW Changes Call Sign To WINT

When radio listeners tuned-in to 1330 AM on Monday morning, they heard the same familiar voices and programs they’ve come to expect, albeit under a different name.

Beginning March 31 at 7 a.m., the station that has been known as WELW for 50 years officially changed its call sign to WINT, according to news-herald.com.

President and general manager of the 500-watt AM station Ray Somich said the decision to relaunch as “integrity radio,” hence the INT in the call sign, comes along with a new simulcast on an FM translator as well as expansion and improvement of the AM signal.

“We’ve acquired the license, but we are working on the building component. So that will be done later this summer,” Somich said.

When the improvements are completed, Somich expects the signal to cover the entirety of Lake County and most of Cuyahoga County.

“It’s really time to relaunch this radio station. We also wanted to really let people know how important integrity is to us,” he said.
