Licensed to Lakeland, Florida, the station is owned by Hall Communications, Inc.[1] WONN is also heard on an FM translator, 107.1 MHz W296CS.[2] WONN carries the syndicated "America's Best Music" network from Westwood One.

WONN's transmitter is atop the office building where WONN has its studios and offices, on Lime Street at Sikes Boulevard in Lakeland.[3] WONN is powered at 1,000 watts, day and night, using a non-directional antenna.
