WDZN is a radio station and affiliate of Radio Disney and it is licensed to the city of Romney, West Virginia, United States. Despite of having fewer than 1,000 watts of Effective Radiated Power, the station is still able to serve the greater Cumberland, Maryland Area at 100.1 FM. Its signal can reach up to Bedford, Pennsylvania where it will start to collide with WWOT of Altoona, Pennsylvania along Interstate 99.

WDZN was formerly WJJB-FM and played an Adult Contemporary format under the name "Jib 100". Their top-of-the-hour ID, would be as follows, "WJJB-FM...Romney, West Virginia..." followed by the striking of a ship's bell which would tell the time at that hour. The "Jib" name and the bells on-the-hour due in part to the owner, at that time, being a former sailor. WJJB switched their call letters to WDZN and their format to Radio Disney on September 4, 1998.

WDZN broadcasts on translator W260BP, on 99.9 FM, for Downtown Cumberland, where WDZN's main signal is blocked by the many hills.

WDZN was owned by Charter Equities, Inc. until March of 2007 when it was sold to Grandview Media, LLC. WDZN's studios are located in Downtown Cumberland.
