WINS began playing rock 'n' roll full-time around 1956 and featured such legendary performers as Alan Freed, Murray the K, Stan Z. Burns, Paul Sherman, Mad Daddy (Pete Meyers) and Johnny Holliday.
The good times at WINS as a music station were relatively short-lived, however. In 1965, WINS became one of the first stations in the U.S. to switch to a 24-hour news format, a precursor of things to come in AM radio.

This program was sponsored by the Gilbert Hosiery Company in New York City, which aired 2 continuous hours of the finest big band recordings from the 30's. Featured artists include Benny Goodman, Peggy Lee, Tommy Dorsey, The Pied Pipers, Ella Fitzgerald and much more!"
