WAUN-FM (92.7 FM, "Smooth Bays") is a Smooth Adult Contemporary formatted radio station licensed to Kewaunee, Wisconsin, that serves the Green Bay area. The station is owned by Magnum Broadcasting and features programming from Broadcast Architecture's Smooth AC Network.
WAUN changed from Broadcast Architecture's Smooth Jazz Network to the Smooth AC Network in September 2010. The Smooth AC format is a Soft AC format which mixes in a few smooth jazz instrumentals per hour, and returns the Soft AC format to the Green Bay area following the switch of WROE 94.3/WRQE 99.7 FM to a classic hits format earlier in September 2010. Typical artists heard as part of the Smooth AC format include Michael Bublé, Sade, Colbie Caillat, John Mayer, Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, Alicia Keys, Kenny G, Dave Koz, and Jason Mraz among others.
WAUN's main signal can be heard from Sturgeon Bay, where the station's main office is located, south to Manitowoc and west to the Green Bay metro area. WAUN also broadcasts over two translator stations, W247AC 96.9 FM in Green Bay and W255AQ 98.9 FM in Sturgeon Bay. Both translators are owned by Del Reynolds. The Green Bay translator formerly aired on 97.3 but was pushed to 96.9 after WTAQ-FM signed on at 97.5.
Prior to adopting the current smooth jazz format, WAUN aired a satellite-fed classic hits format from Jones Radio, branded as "U-Rock.", prior to that it FM Talk, and during much of the 80s and 90s it aired various country formats, including Hot Country and Polka known as "Moo 92".
