In the August 8, 1966 issue, Broadcasting magazine reported, "Among other stations that have pulled off Beatles' records are WAIM Anderson, WHCQ Spartanburg, WORG Orangeburg and WBCU Union, all South Carolina; WCBC [sic] Charlotte and WYNA Raleigh, both North Carolina."
The Asheville Citizen on August 4, 1966, reported, "Bobby Dark of WYNA, Raleigh, N.C., said a bonfire is planned for burning Beatles records."

WYNA was pronounced like "winner" ("win-nuh"). The station began broadcasting in 1962 as WNOH, but it flipped call letters in the spring of 1966 and was apparently programming a country format ("the all-American Nashville sound"). It is unclear, therefore, if WYNA actually banned The Beatles.
