Founded on June 1, 1998, "The Fan" SportsRadio 790 WSFN was the first and only full-time, 24-hour all-sports radio station serving Brunswick and The Golden Isles. "The Fan" was one of the highest debuting sports stations in America and is the number one all-sports station of Georgia.
In March 2013, Southern Media Interactive, LLC acquired WSFN, WFNS and WSEG and created the Southern Pigskin Radio Network broadcasting all five AM/FM stations into the Brunswick, Savannah, Hilton Head markets.
The station is an affiliate of the Atlanta Braves radio network, the largest radio affiliate network in Major League Baseball.[2]
