History

The station first

The Golden Isles of Georgia
.

In March 2013, Southern Media Interactive, LLC, acquired WSFN, WFNS and WSEG. The company created the Southern Pigskin Radio Network, broadcasting on all five AM/FM stations in the Brunswick, Savannah and Hilton Head radio markets.

The station is an affiliate of the Atlanta Braves Radio Network, the largest radio network in Major League Baseball.[2] Regular programming on WSFN is pre-empted when the Braves are playing.

On September 4, 2022, it was announced that Shanks Broadcasting would acquire WSFN and would begin carrying the company's "Sports Superstations" network.[3]

In March 2024, WSFN was told by the

FM translator at 103.7 MHz. The FCC said WSFN had committed numerous violations, including being off the air without notifying the FCC, operating from a location not on its license and using equipment not on its license.[4]
WSFN management is considering contesting the fine and translator revocation.
