WIFN, "1340 The Fan 3", is an Atlanta AM radio station transmitting on a frequency of 1340 kHz. The station is currently broadcasting a sports radio format, and is a sister station to WCNN "680 The Fan", running programming from Fox Sports Radio.
The station is co-owned with AM radio stations WCNN AM 680 and WFOM AM 1230. All three stations are owned by Dickey Broadcasting, with studios in Buckhead. The station previously aired a Spanish language sports/talk format, a gospel music format, and prior to that as WALR simulcast their former sister station WALR-FM (then known as "Kiss 104.7"), and a simulcast of WFOM on two occasions.
WIFN's transmitting facility and tower is located in southwest Atlanta near the Atlanta University Center campus. Originally as WAKE (now assigned to another station), it broadcast from the Georgian Terrace Hotel. It was later WIGO, now on WIGO AM 1570 locally. "WIFN" was previously on a station in nearby Macon, Georgia, which is now WROK-FM 105.5 there.
