The station is currently owned by the Paxton Media Group through WFKN, LLC, and features programming from Cumulus Media Networks' "Best Country Today" network.[3] The station shares ownership with Franklin's local paper, the weekly Franklin Favorite.
History
[edit | edit source]The station began operations in April 1954 under ownership of the Franklin Favorite, a weekly newspaper. Although it was acquired by the Henderson Gleaner-Journal in 1974, the station remained under control of the Favorite.[4]
The station has long gone without any FM companion until the mid-2010s, when low-power translator W222CZ was launched.
