W2XCR was founded in 1931 in Long Island City, New York by the radio station WGBS. During the early part of 1931, but before the call letters were changed to WINS, the station began experimenting with mechanical television broadcasting, operating a Jenkins mechanical scanner through the experimental transmitter, W2XCR. The station broadcast using both 48-line, 15 frame/s, and 60-line, 20 frame/s standards during 1931. Mechanical TV broadcast in the AM radio band (550–1,500 kHz) in 1928 and 1929.
