Its daytime signal reaches as far north as Ft. Pierce, as far west as Ft. Myers and Naples, and as far south as Cuba. The station has managed to score ratings in the Ft. Myers-Naples and West Palm Beach-Boca Raton radio markets despite its transmitter being far away, over 100 miles away in the case of Ft. Myers-Naples, and having no promotion.Its studios are located in Miramar and the transmitter site is in Miami Gardens.The station is non-directional in the daytime hours and broadcasts with 50,000 watts; during nighttime hours (sunset to sunrise) the WINZ directional skywave pattern contours the shape of the United States, as the station has to project no signal into either Canada or Mexico because those countries have the Class A Clear Channel Rights to the 940 kHz frequency.

This authority has been renewed regularly since then.From the late 1950s and into the early 1960s, WINZ went head-to-head with top 40 WQAM at night, featuring Bob Green, from 7pm to 11pm. When Green left the station, he was replaced by "Cousin Brucie" Bruce Morrow. Morrow left the station to begin a legendary career at WABC, New York. He is now with XM. During that time, the rest of WINZ's broadcast day was as a middle-of-the-road, full service station.WINZ's former talk-host lineup included Nova M hosts Randi Rhodes and Mike Malloy, Stephanie Miller of Jones Radio Networks, Lionel, Neil Rogers and Thom Hartmann of Air America Radio, and Don Imus in the morning from 6:00 AM until 9:00 AM. Traffic Reporters for WINZ were Trish Anderson in the 80's and George Sheldon from 1989-1997 then again from 2004-2006. Frank Mottek worked as an anchor and reporter for WINZ from 1981 to 1992 before joining CBS station KNX (AM) in 1992. From 1985 to 1991, he broadcast the live descriptions of all space shuttle launches for the CBS Radio Network which aired on WINZ.WINZ is affiliated with CBS for hourly network newscasts and includes twice hourly updates from The Weather Channel.The station signed on in its liberal talk format at 12:06 p.m. on July 12, 2004.
