WLRT (1250 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Nicholasville, Kentucky and serving the Lexington–Fayette metropolitan area. It is owned by New Albany Broadcasting and airs a Regional Mexican music format, called "La Explosiva 101.9 FM & 1250 AM".
History
In December 1961, WLRT first signed on as WNVL.[1] It was originally a daytimer, required to be off the air at night, so it would not interfere with other stations on AM 1250. But in the 1990s, it got permission to broadcast at low power after sunset.
On June 15, 2019, WLRT rebranded as "La Explosiva 1250"
