WDKN AM 1260 Dickson, Tennessee
Since day one WDKN has been the community's radio station. Among the programs you might have heard during the early days of the station were Lost & Found, Saturday Sidelights, Old Timers Program (which continues to run to this day), Ida's News and Views with the Late Ida Nicks, and Gospel Echoes, just to name a few.
Many of Dickson County's most notable citizens have regularly hosted shows on our airwaves, among them Bill Potts, Warren Medley (who continues to host Old Timers & Know Your County each and every Saturday Morning), Henry Ragan (host of Life In The Tennessee Valley, which is now hosted by his grandson, Alan Ragan), Vernon Hamilton, Dr. Jimmy Jackson and Dr. Walter Bell, Joe Webster, Ralph Easley, Chris Norman and many, many more.
Several of the station's early personalities were crucial in making the Annual Old Timer's Day Festival a reality, an event the station continues to cover wall-to-wall each Spring. WDKN has traditionally been the home of the long-running Dickson County Cancer Crusade Radio Auction each and every April. From its earliest days, WDKN has been a voice for area-wide sports, covering Dickson Lady Dragon & Dragon Sports, and since the early 70's, Dickson County Lady Cougar & Cougar Sports.
Current owners of WDKN are Leroy Kennell, Oscar Eubank and Tommy Edmisson
