WWIN (1400 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in Baltimore, Maryland. Owned by Urban One, it broadcasts an all-news radio format. The studios are in Woodlawn, shared with sister stations WERQ-FM, WOLB and WWIN-FM.

WWIN is powered at 500 watts. The transmitter is on East Monument Street in the Orangeville section of East Baltimore.[2]

History

WWIN first signed on in 1951. For most of its history, it has been programmed for Baltimore's African-American community. Originally it played R&B and soul music, with some urban gospel in early mornings and on Sunday. In later years, as most listeners switched to FM for contemporary music, WWIN switched to urban gospel full time.

On June 17, 2026, WWIN began simulcasting WQLL, which airs Black Information Network programming. WWIN did not register in the recently-released May 2026 Nielsen books, while iHeartMedia's rivaling WCAO held a 0.4 share, with Urban One's co-owned HD2 subchannel of Audacy's adult contemporary WLIF holding a 0.5.
