WNFN
Encyclopedia : W : WN : WNF : WNFN
WNFN is an FM radio station broadcasting in the Nashville, Tennessee market on a frequency of 106.7 mHz.
Techncially licensed to the affluent Nashville suburb of Belle Meade, WNFN was formerly operated under the callsignof WNPL ("The Planet"), and had previously been marketed as a "women's station" and later as a rap music station. The current all-sports format was adopted in December 2004, in part as a way of splitting the sports shows then broadcast on WWTN away from the political talk shows that it otherwise broadcasts on the premise that the overlap in listenership between the two formats is minimal, and the callsign change soon followed. The station markets itself as "Nashville's only all-sports FM".
The once-popular SportsNight afternoon drive-time talk show was briefly simulcast on both WWTN and WNFN before being relegated to WNFN alone in early 2005. Due in part to the lower power of WNFN and in part to the previous departure of popular host George Plaster to competitor WGFX, SportsNight fell into a precipitous ratings decline. Both it and the midday local talk show Sports Brunch were discontinued in March 2006. The station now broadcasts primarily programming from ESPN radio and selected major sporting events.
