WWNN (1470 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a talk radio format. Licensed to Pompano Beach, Florida, USA, the station serves the Miami area. The station is currently owned by the Beasley Broadcast Group.

The Winner's News Network

WWNN began in 1987 as a talk format station with a Top 40 format. Motivational speaker Joe Nuckols enticed motivational record company Nightingale/Conant to grant him permission to broadcast cuts from their motivation tape series and bvroadcast it in a format very much like Top 40 radio stations of the day. Placing them into certain segments every quarter hour (general information, health/lifestyle, money, motivation), "Your Motivation Station" premiered in early 1987 with the intention of being a flagship radio station for a talk-format network called "The Winner's News Network."

After five years with this format, and the station enduring monetary losses, the station was sold to Howard Goldsmith, who had already experienced monetary success with the acquisition of WSBR-AM in 1989.

The Goldsmith Era

Goldsmith's apathy towards motivation programming was prevalent when he scrapped a majority of this programming during the broadcast day for the sake of clients from WSBR who did not feature programs along that station's business talk format. Those individuals were of the field of holisitics who had now found a home on a station where it was rechristened "Health and Motivation Radio" (motivation programming was relegated to those hours that weren't sold, or to the overnight hours, as an alternative to 'dead air').
