According to Wikipedia, “Originally known for 80 years under the WINC call sign, the station was launched by Richard Field Lewis, Jr. on June 26, 1941, as Winchester's first radio station….Fourteen-year-old country music singer Virginia ‘Ginny’ Hensley, who later became Patsy Cline, began her career by making her broadcast debut on WINC in 1948. Hensley asked ‘Joltin' Jim McCoy, the leader of a ‘hillbilly band’ called ‘The Melody Playboys’, about to perform on the station, for a chance to sing with them….Cline continued to perform regularly on Saturday mornings on WINC. In 1948 and 1949, respectively, Bing Crosby and Bob Hope visited WINC, where they were interviewed on-the-air. Crosby and Hope were each in town for the city's annual Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival.” We discovered this item among the contents of an estate in the Suffolk, Virginia area.
