WFKN (1220 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a country music format. Licensed to Franklin, Kentucky, United States. The station is currently owned by the Paxton Media Group through WFKN, LLC, and features programming from Cumulus Media Networks' "Best Country Today" network.[2] The station shares ownership with Franklin's local paper, the weekly Franklin Favorite.
The station began operations in April 1954 under ownership of the Franklin Favorite, a weekly newspaper. Although it was acquired by the Henderson Gleaner-Journal in 1974, the station remained under control of the Favorite.[3]
The station has long gone without any FM companion until the mid-2010s, when low-power translator W222CZ was launched.
