WUFF-FM is a commercial radio station in Eastman, Georgia, U.S.A broadcasting on 710 AM and 97.5 FM. Big WUFF's studios are located at 731 College Street in Eastman.

The first commercial radio station in Eastman, Georgia was licensed to O'Quinn Broadcasting and hit the airwaves in September 1961. The frequency was 1580 AM, and the call letters were WPFE, or "We Pull For Eastman".

Broadcasting power and coverage area were expanded in the 1970s. The call letters were changed to WUFF (Wake Up For Fun), and the company became known as Big WUFF Radio. WUFF began AM/FM simulcasting. The AM Frequency changed to 710, and the FM Frequency 92.1 was added. For many years, Big WUFF Radio was primarily a pop/rock station, but there was something for everyone. Country and especially gospel music were driving forces in the market.

In 1992, WUFF-FM changed frequencies from 92.1 FM to 97.5 FM. and increased its broadcasting power and coverage area.

In late 1997, Big WUFF began broadcasting 24 hours a day. Previously, the stations went off the air between the hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m.

In 2004, Steve Sellars purchased WUFF AM/FM from Farnell O'Quinn for $450,000.[1] In 2006, the station increased its broadcasting power and coverage area once again and began broadcasting in stereo.

Country music is the dominant format currently except on Sundays when both WUFF 710 AM and WUFF 97.5 FM air religious programming and gospel music.

WUFF is a supporter of high school athletics. The Dodge County Indians football games are called by Dr. Don Parkerson and Dr. Clark Carroll. They have been broadcasting the game since the 1970s.
