It airs an easy listening format and is owned by SummitMedia, which also owns six other Birmingham stations, and all share studios and offices in the Cahaba neighborhood in southeast Birmingham, but is not related to the fictional radio WENN in the American Movie Classics sitcom Remember WENN, which ran from 1996 to 1998.
When WEZB changed frequencies, moving to 1220 AM in 1959, it was replaced by WENN, playing R&B and black gospel music that targeted Birmingham's African-American community.
The new WENN-FM was the first FM station in Birmingham aimed at the listening tastes of the community's African-American population.
After WAGG and WEZN swapped dial positions, the 1320 AM frequency has changed both its call sign and its programming format several times.

On July 20, 2012, Cox Radio, Inc. announced the sale of WENN and 22 other stations to Summit Media LLC for $66.25 million.
On November 15, 2013, WENN and W271BN changed the format to adult hits, simulcasting WZNN, branded as "102.1 Y'all FM".
[9] The simulcast lasted until November 21, 2013, at midnight; at that time, the former WZNN became soft adult contemporary WEZZ, "Easy 97.3".
[10] In November 2014, WENN returned to the air, simulcasting WEZZ-FM's soft adult contemporary format.
On March 14, 2016, WENN changed their format to soft AC, branded as "Easy 102.1", and switched translators to W271BN (102.1 FM).
