The station is owned by Saga Communications, and operates as part of its Five Star Media Group.

Saga also operates WVVR 100.3 Country, WRND 94.3 Classic Hits, WCVQ 107.9 Adult Contemporary, and WZZP 97.5 FM Active Rock from its main offices in Clarksville.

Upon his death in 1961, the stations were held in trust by a bank in Jackson which was to decide if Aaron Robinson Jr. should inherit them.

At one time WDXN was owned by Jack Mayer of Clarksville, who was the long-time secretary of the Tennessee Association of Broadcasters.

On February 1, 2001, the station was acquired by Saga Communications of Tuckessee, Inc., who in the same year, changed the call letters to the current WKFN.
