KWIN FM 97.7

KWIN is a commercial FM station broadcasting at 97.7 MHz, licensed to Lodi, California, and targeting the Stockton and Modesto portions of the Central Valley. It operates in simulcast with KWNN at 98.3 MHz, which is licensed to Turlock, together forming a two-signal urban contemporary operation owned by Cumulus Media. Studios and administrative offices for both stations are maintained in Stockton. The KWIN transmitter is positioned off California State Route 99 at Cora Post Road in Lodi, while KWNN's transmitter is situated off Geer Road in Hughson. The urban contemporary format is built around a roster of on-air personalities across the broadcast day. Morning programming is anchored by The Morning Block Party with Lucas, followed by midday hosting from Lani Q. Afternoon drive features Jiggy, with evenings handled by Tino Cochino. Danny B. and The Bomb Squad occupy a prime daypart, and overnight programming includes Late Night Slow Jams with R Dub and Jeff Bayani. The station's history extends to 1949, when a predecessor signed on as KTUR, later renamed KCEY. An FM companion was added in 1977, initially formatted as automated adult contemporary under the K-MIX 98 brand, with pre-recorded DJ segments creating the impression of live broadcasts. In 1995, KMIX-FM was rebranded as KWNN and began simulcasting the rhythmic CHR format of KWIN, establishing the dual-signal structure that subsequently evolved into the urban contemporary simulcast arrangement under Cumulus Media ownership.
