WKCT (930 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a News Talk Information format. Licensed to Bowling Green, Kentucky, United States, the station serves the Bowling Green area. The station is currently owned by Daily News Broadcasting Co. and features programming from CBS Radio News, Premiere Radio Networks and Westwood One.[1]
History
The station signed on the air on November 1, 1947 as Bowling Green's second commercial radio station. The station was originally affiliated with ABC Radio. The station played an Adult contemporary format, along with at least 10 hours of country music programming during the 1970s and 1980s.[2] It then switched to a news/talk format at some point before 1990.
WKCT on the FM dial
On January 23, 2017, WKCT signed on a new FM translator to broadcast on a 24-hour basis. W281BV broadcasts WKCT's night programming at 104.1 Megahertz on the FM dial for the purpose of providing its nightly schedule, because WKCT is required to power down at sunset under the FCC-approved license, and in order to avoid interference with other AM signals broadcasting at 930 kHz.[3]
“Talk 104.1 FM” is the overall tenth commercial low-powered FM repeater in the Bowling Green/Glasgow radio market. It also makes WKCT the third AM radio station in the immediate Bowling Green area simulcasting radio programming on a FM repeater after ESPN Radio station WWKU and Fox Sports Radio affiliate turned Classic country station WBGN.
Programming
The station is now affiliated with CBS Radio and broadcasts all of that network's hourly newscasts. The station also broadcasts Bowling Green High School Football and Greenwood High School football games.[4] Syndicated radio shows on the station include those of Kentucky Sports Radio, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Dave Ramsey.[5]
