WDUN is licensed as a Class B AM broadcast facility by the Federal Communications Commission operating with 10,000 Watts of power during the daytime using a non-directional antenna signal pattern, and 2,500 Watts during nighttime using a directional antenna pattern. The station is currently owned by JWJ Properties, Inc., doing business as Jacobs Media Corporation, which also operates WDUN-FM in Clarkesville, Georgia.
The radio station features locally originated shows the Bill and Joel Morning Show, Morning Talky, and The Ken Coleman Show and Sportstalk with Katie B.

WDUN's sports programming includes Georgia Southern Eagles football, Atlanta Falcons football, Atlanta Hawks basketball, and local prep play-by-play coverage covering a ten-county area. In 2009, WDUN became the radio home of the Gwinnett Braves, the AAA minor league affiliate of the Atlanta Braves. As a result, the major league Atlanta Braves games, formerly aired on WDUN, moved to sister station 1240 ESPN Radio.
