WWNN (1470 kHz) is a commercial radio station licensed to Pompano Beach, Florida, and serving Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. The station is owned by Vic Canales, through licensee Vic Canales Media Group, LLC. The studios are in Boca Raton. Part of the day, the station airs brokered programming, where hosts pay for their time and may advertise their products or services during their shows. The rest of the day, the station carries The True Oldies Channel.

By day, WWNN is powered at 30,000 watts. It uses a directional antenna with a four-tower array to avoid interfering with stations in the Miami area on 1450 and 1490 kHz. At night, to further reduce interference to other stations, the power is reduced to 2,500 watts. The transmitter is on NW 44th Street, near Florida's Turnpike, in Tamarac.[2] Programming is also heard on two FM translators: 95.3 W237BD in Boca Raton and 96.9 W245BC in Lauderdale Lakes.
