WEND-FM (106.5 FM), known as "106.5 The End", is a modern rock radio station based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Owned by Clear Channel Communications, the station broadcasts at 106.5 MHz with an ERP of 84kW. The station is licensed to Salisbury and its transmitter is located there as well. WEND's signal makes it into most of the Piedmont Triad region as well, providing city-grade coverage of Winston-Salem and a grade B signal to Greensboro. Other than KENZ Salt Lake City, which broadcasts at 101.9 FM, WEND is another FM station to use the "End" nickname, while not located at the end of the radio dial.

History

WRDX in Salisbury, North Carolina played country music prior to a signal increase in 1987 that allowed the station to cover both Charlotte and the Triad. At that time the station switched to satellite adult contemporary. Late in the 1980s the station began playing more oldies, especially from the category of beach music. When the announcement was made of the move to Charlotte along with the change to the current format, numerous letters of protest appeared in the Salisbury Post. After the move, WEND moved its tower farther south to get a better signal in the Charlotte area. However, it only provides a grade B signal to Rock Hill and the South Carolina portion of the Charlotte market.

Programming

106.5 The End generally plays modern rock music throughout the day but is also the local affiliate of the syndicated Bob and Tom Show, from Q-95 in Indianapolis, Indiana
