WVNN (770 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Athens, Alabama, serving parts of North Alabama including Huntsville and Decatur. Owned by Cumulus Media, it airs a Talk radio format. Programming on WVNN is simulcast on WVNN-FM 92.5 MHz, which is licensed to Trinity, Alabama. Collectively, the stations are branded as "NewsTalk 770 AM/92.5 FM WVNN." The studios and offices are on U.S. Route 72 East in Athens. WVNN broadcasts at 7,000 watts by day non-directional, with its transmitter located off Lee Highway (U.S. Route 72) in Huntsville. Because AM 770 is a clear channel frequency reserved for 50,000 watt Class A WABC in New York City, WVNN must go off the air at night to avoid interference. It abandoned the night signal in 2020 and operates day only with PSSA. Programming News and Talk WVNN-AM-FM feature three Alabama-based shows on weekday mornings and afternoons, including "Hometown Heartbeat with Zach Walker" (5:00 AM–7:00 AM), "The Dale Jackson Show"(7:00 AM–11:00 AM), and "Yaffee and L.T." (2:00 PM–5:00 PM). Nationally syndicated conservative talk shows are heard the rest of the day with Dan Bongino in middays, and at night Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, Chris Plante and Red Eye Radio. Weekends feature shows on money, health, religion and the syndicated Kim Komando show on technology, as well as repeats of weekday shows. Most hours begin with news from ABC News Radio. Sports WVNN-AM-FM formerly carried University of Alabama Crimson Tide football and Tennessee Titans football during the fall, and Alabama Vipers arena football games in the spring, as part of a simulcast with sister station, WUMP "SportsRadio 730/103.9, The UMP". Aside from occasional high school football games, or some spillover games from WUMP, WVNN-AM-FM currently offer no sports programming. History WJMW and WKSR WVNN is descended from two radio stations; one is WJMW, a daytimer that first signed on in 1948. WJMW's frequency was 1010 kHz. It was powered at only 250 watts and was required to go off the air at sunset. It was owned by the Athens Broadcasting Company, founded by Homer Felix "Pap" Dunnavant. The other station was also a daytimer; WKSR went on the air in 1947, on 730 AM in Pulaski, Tennessee, a town about 30 miles north of Athens. It was owned by the Pulaski Broadcasting Company and was a Mutual Broadcasting System network affiliate. Move to 730 and to 770 In 1953, the Athens
