History
The station's origins can be traced back to Campbellsville, in March 1948, where the WLCK callsign was originally used on a local station at 1450 kilohertz. That station merged with WTCO in 1955.[1]: 125, 126
Three years later, the WLCK callsign reappeared when Scottsville's first radio station began broadcasting at 1250 kilohertz with 500 watts of power in February 1958. At that time, WLCK was under ownership of State Line Broadcasting Company.[1]: 145
WLCK's FM companion station was launched in 1967; that station was later renamed WVLE.
