‘All News, All the Time’ Turns 40

Got 22 minutes? They’ll give you the world. Infinity station WINS(AM) in New York, known there as 1010 WINS and identifiable by its familiar old-style newswire sound effect, is noting its 40th anniversary as an all-news station.
Among its promo activities is a “top 40 newsmakers” poll on its Web site. After two weeks of voting in several categories, the station will air several weeks of profiles from its station archives based on the votes. An event in the fall will benefit the New York City Adopt a School program.
