WLCK (1250 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Southern Gospel format. Licensed to Scottsville, Kentucky, United States, the station serves the Bowling Green area. The station is currently owned by Skytower Communications Group, LLC and features programming from Salem Communications.^[4]

The station shares studio facilities with sister station WVLE at 102 1/2 Public Square in downtown Scottsville.

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.
