        RE:    REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-1

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        We are acting as counsel to Wink Communications, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration of 632,500
shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, including
82,500 shares subject to an over-allotment option (collectively, the "Shares"),
pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the "Registration Statement"),
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.

        As counsel for the Company, we have examined originals or copies,
certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents,
corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we
have deemed necessary for the purposes of rendering this opinion. In our
examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity
of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with the
originals of all documents submitted to us as copies.

        Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares to be
registered for sale by the Company have been duly authorized by the Company, and
the Shares to be registered for sale by the Company, when issued, delivered and
paid for in accordance with the terms of the underwriting agreement referred to
in the related Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-80221) and in
accordance with the resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the
Company, will be, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

        We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement, and we consent to the reference of our name under the caption "Legal
Matters" in the Prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement.

                                   Very truly yours,

                       CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
