I remember when it was "The New Wink", a top 40 or hot AC station. I don't remember the year.

Around 1985 or 1986, it was WWNK-AM, a simulcast of WWNK-FM (Wink 94.1). It was AC, but not hot AC by any means.
Really? It seemed loud to me.

WWNK probably wasn't as soft as Warm 98 back then. Yet they played too much '70s James Taylor and Bread to be a hot AC. Maybe at the very, very, very beginning, they were hot AC, but they quickly went in a more AC direction.
 
When WKXF flipped frpm Kicks country to WWNK Wink 941, they briefly stunted with oldies similcasting Krock 1360. A couple of months later, they went with Soft AC before shifting to Hot AC.

Wasn't Wink an AM/FM simulcast for the first couple of years? There was no K-Rock until they dropped the simulcast. K coming from the K in the WWNK call letters.
 
After the AM/FM simulcast ended, 1360 stayed oldies WWNK-AM, K-Rock for a few years eventually becomming Sports Talk WSAI.

Oldies launched with the end of the simulcast. First as K-Rock and continuing after the WSAI calls returned. Weren't J.C. McCoy and Dave Michaels involved? I know Jim LaBarbara eventually did mornings on oldies WSAI, and then continued briefly with Jim McKnight on sports talk. Long after the AM had left Price Hill, I used those old TM oldies automation reels for work tape in the old basement production room at Wink.
