WDUN AM 550 and WDUN FM 102.9 are divisions of Jacobs Media, a family-owned media company based in Gainesville, Georgia. Jacobs Media also owns 94.5FM The Lake and AccessWDUN.com, the region's largest news website.
Jacobs Media was founded in 1949 by the late John W. Jacobs Jr., a successful businessman and philanthropist. Under his guidance, Jacobs Media brought North Georgia its first FM radio station, its first cable company and the region’s first online newspaper. Generations of North Georgians have grown up getting news, information and entertainment from the Jacobs Media family of radio stations and websites.
Today, WDUN AM/FM is a popular news/talk station, offering a great mix of local and syndicated talk, and The Lake offers adult contemporary music, the best music from the hottest stars of the 80s, 90s and today.
In 1999, Jacobs’ son, John W. “Jay” Jacobs III, the current president and CEO, brought the company into a compelling era of new media, launching AccessNorthGa.com, the region’s first Internet news service. In April 2015, the website was rebranded as AccessWDUN to combine the site’s consistent news coverage with the rich history of WDUN radio.
