In addition to its primary AM signal, WAIN maintains an FM translator as W250CL on 101.9 MHz. That station's transmitter is co-located with the AM.
History
WAIN was launched in 1951 by Tri-County Broadcasting. The station was led by S.C. Bybee, with additional ownership by Clifford Spurlock. Over the next several years, Spurlock and later Bybee would sell their stakes in the station to Lindsey Wilson College, which became majority owner of the station. An FM sister station would go on air in 1968.[2]
By 1983, the college had sold WAIN-AM-FM to Key Broadcasting, now known as Forcht Broadcasting.[2]
In addition to the main station at 1270 kHz, WAIN is relayed by an FM translator at 101.9 MHz to widen its broadcast area, especially during nighttime hours when the AM signal broadcasts with only 68 watts.
