WVLK-FM (101.5 MHz) is a radio station licensed to the community of Richmond, Kentucky, serving the greater Lexington metropolitan area. The station airs an Adult hits format and is owned by Cumulus Media.[3] The station's studios are located inside Kincaid Towers in downtown Lexington, and its transmitter is located in rural Madison County, Kentucky just south of the Kentucky River. This station used to be a simulcast of sister station WVLK 590 kHz in Lexington.
The station has been assigned these call letters by the Federal Communications Commission since May 23, 2007.[2] Previously, sister country station WLXX held that callsign.
On October 31, 2014, at 6AM, WVLK-FM dropped its news/talk format and began stunting by playing only music by Garth Brooks as "Garth 101.5". At 5pm, WVLK-FM changed its format to country, joining the Nash Icon network as "101.5 Nash Icon".
On the morning of February 20, 2018, WVLK-FM flipped to adult hits as "101.5 Jack FM".[4]
