WENC (1220 AM) is a radio station licensed to Whiteville, North Carolina, United States. The station is owned by Godwin Communications, LLC.[2][3]
WENC signed on in 1946, operating at 250 watts 24 hours a day. Whiteville Broadcasting Company owned the station until 1995, when J.L. "Big Jay" Godwin bought the station and became general manager. He changed the format from oldies to soul music, gospel and rhythm and blues with community news and obituaries. Tahitian McKenzie, Godwin's daughter, took over WENC after her parents' deaths but had to sign off after a year on December 31, 2024, because running the station was "not feasible" financially. The station is for sale.[4]
