WINR is the H Channel-affiliated station licensed to Moline, Illinois, serving the Quad Cities area. It is owned by Confection Broadcasting.
== History ==
WINR first signed on the air on April 14, 1965 as an NBC station; WHTQ in Rock Island was also an affiliate of the network. The station was not as successful as established WHTQ, and its lineup consisted mainly of off-network sitcoms. 
In the mid-1970's, the station opened a news operation to compete with WHTQ. The broadcasts were called WINR Newservice (pronounced separately as news service), and aired at 12 p.m., 5 p.m., and 10 p.m. Originally unsuccessful, ratings steadily increased and WINR was beating every other station at 10 p.m., tying for number one at noon and five. 
In 1981, the station began a morning newscast, titled WINR Today. The program originally aired at 7 a.m., but was moved back to 6 a.m. in 1987 when the station began carrying the full two-hour telecast of Today. In 1992, the station implemented weekend newscasts, which were rare for the time: WINR Today Saturday, running from 5:30 to 6:30 a.m., and WINR Newservice Weekend Update, airing at 10 p.m.
In late 1995, the station announced it would become a CBS station as apart of the 1994-1996 United States broadcast television realignment. The switch happened at 12:05 a.m. on Sunday, January 7, 1996. The newscasts were renamed to the more modern CBS 61 News as apart of the switch. More first-run syndicated shows were added to the schedule, including Carnie! and Lauren Hutton And...
Nearly twenty years later, in 2014, the station announced it would not renew its contract with CBS for the following year. Former owner Hearst Television sold the station to Confection Broadcasting, who originally wanted to make the station an affiliate of MyTV; this was not successful, and Confection decided to "temporarily" have it be Moline's Classix affiliate. 
Although the company was able to sign a deal with Bounce TV, they chose not to as the Classix programming was successful in the Quad Cities. In June 2015, Confection Broadcasting officially announced that the station was the latest Classix affiliate. 
In September 2021, it was announced the station would become an affiliate of H Channel, joining former Classix affiliates WYMP and KNVO. Local newscasts returned to the station after 7 years, with weekday 5:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. newscasts being introduced. The station's schedule is the same as the East Coast lineup, meaning every show airs one hour behind. Syndicated programs on the station include Access Hollywood and Seinfeld.
