WINE (940 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a All Sports format. Licensed to Brookfield, Connecticut, USA, it serves the Danbury area. The station is currently owned by Cumulus Licensing Llc. In the 1970's and early 80's WINE was a Top 40 station. As the audience migrated to the FM band, WINE became a full-service adult contemporary station.

In the 90's WINE bcame part of an all-news network that included WNLK, which both became newstalk a few years later. After being sold to Cumulus, WINE spent a few years, with now sister station, WPUT (Brewster, NY), as a nostalgia station. Now both are part of ESPN radio 24/7. WINE's nighttime signal is very weak at 4 watts. WPUT airs daytime only.

WINE's longtime competitor is 800 AM WLAD in Danbury. WLAD (http://www.wlad.com)is now a newstalk station. WINE's FM sister station is rock station, WRKI (I-95 - http://www.i95rock.com), as well as Pawling, NY's WDBY (Y-105 - http://www.y105radio.com), which has a booster station in Danbury.

Many radio listeners in this part of Connecticut listen to AM radio from New York City. Popular stations include WFAN, WOR, WABC, WCBS, and WINS.
