WVNN (770 AM) is a news/talk formatted radio station licensed to Athens, Alabama, where the station's studios are also located. Owned by Cumulus Media, it simulcasts on WVNN-FM (92.5 FM) licensed to Trinity, Alabama. This combo primarily serves the Huntsville, Alabama market, though it can also be heard in the Florence-Muscle Shoals market. Collectively, the stations are branded as "NewsTalk 770 AM/92.5 FM WVNN".
The WVNN signal covers the northern-third of Alabama (and southern Middle Tennessee) during the day, though signal limitations prevent the station from penetrating any further than the Athens area after sunset. Due to FCC regulations, the station switches to a lower power at sunset (from a separate four tower array) in deference to WABC-New York (a fellow Cumulus station which operates on a clear channel occupying 770 AM).
Notable weekday programming includes Alabama-based shows hosted by Dale Jackson and Matt Murphy; plus nationally syndicated shows hosted by Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, and Mark Levin.
WVNN carries University of Alabama football during the fall, normally on Saturday afternoons. On Friday evenings during the fall, WVNN often originates area high school football games. It is not uncommon to hear WVNN simulcast with sister station WUMP ("SportsRadio 730, The UMP") during live sports programming. WVNN is an affiliate of the Tennessee Titans football radio network.
