Radio WCNN-AM (Sports680 the fan)

WCNN is an AM station broadcasting on a frequency of 680 kHz and serving the Atlanta-area radio market with a sports radio format. The station is commonly known by the on-air branding as "680 the Fan". The last three letters of its broadcast callsign represent Cable News Network. The station formerly broadcast the audio portion of the CNN Headline News channel along with some local news and commercials, a news radio format that the station pioneered in the 1980s and re-appeared on the station later in the station's history.

"680" began as WRNG, Atlanta's first talk radio station. The last three letters of the callsign represented the station's branding as "Ring Radio". It was the first broadcast home of talk radio personality Neal Boortz, now on WSB and syndicated nationally. Other, now well known talk radio personalities were also heard on the station, including KGO's Ronn Owens, San Francisco, Southern Humorist Ludlow Porch, and KFYI's Barry Young, Phoenix.

In 1982, the station began an experiment by broadcasting the audio feed of CNN Headline News. The call letters were changed to WCNN.

The last three letters of the WGTW representing the movie Gone with the Wind. The station went by the branding "Stardust 680" during that time. The radio format failed to gain ratings in the market. In late 1988, The station became WCNN All News 680, with a 24 hour local news format. The CNN Headline News audio and returned in June 1990 when the local all news format failed to generate sufficient ratings. In 1995, WCNN was leased to Cox Radio for a 5 year term. The radio format was switched to Sports Talk as "680 The Fan". In 1998, the format switched to news/talk to compliment WSB's programming. In 2000, when the LMA expired, control of WCNN returned to Dickey Broadcasting. "680 The Fan" branding and the sports radio format returned to WCNN.
