WINT (channel 10) is a television station in Memphis, Tennessee, United States, affiliated with ABC. The station is owned by Capital Cities Communications, with studios at the Shelby Oaks Corporate Park on Shelby Oaks Drive in the northeast section of Memphis; WINT's transmitter is located in the Brunswick section of unincorporated northeast Shelby County.
History[]
WINT was launched on June 1, 1990, about 3 months after the launch of WMKW. Almost instantly, a rivalry was formed. Owned by Petry Television, WINT and ran a general entertainment format featuring cartoons, movies, sitcoms, westerns and drama series. WINT also carried NBC, CBS and ABC programs whenever WMCT (channel 3), WMEM (channel 7) and WJEI-TV (channel 13) preempted network shows in favor of local programs. However, by 2000, Petry Television was in serious trouble and was about to file for bankruptcy. Going on at the same time, after being bought out by Walt Disney Company to become ABC, Inc. Frank Smith, Jr. (whose father helped founded the original Capital Cities Communications) decided to relaunch Capital Cities and made it his creation. After careful consideration, Capital Cities decided to purchase WINT from Petry Television, and the sale was completed in 2010. In 2020, the station was sold to Swift Television Group. However, on June 26, 2025, Capital Cities Communications reacquired the station.
ABC comes to WINT[]
In 2011, the Rainbow Dash Network was looking to expand into the Memphis market. In a move that shocked the Mid-South region, WJEI announced their intentions to leave ABC (a network they been with since 1955) in favor of signing up for the Rainbow Dash Network. ABC was scrambling to find a replacement. After being turned down by both WMKW and WBTN, ABC had to settle for WINT. So on January 1, 2011, an affiliation switch happened as ABC moved from WJEI to WINT.
Newscast[]
As part of the agreement to become an ABC affiliate, WINT had to launch their own local newscast, and ABC 10 News was launched a week after WINT became an ABC affiliate. ABC 10 News has been a distant 3rd to WJEI and WBTN's newscasts for years.
