WGRK (1540 AM) was a radio station licensed to Greensburg, Kentucky, United States. The station was owned by Green County CBC, Inc. and featured programming from ABC Radio and Jones Radio Network. [1]
The station went on the air in March 1972 under ownership by Jim Hay and Robert Towers, with Hay taking sole ownership two years later. The station initially had aired a variety format with country and rock music. The station began simulcasting on WGRK-FM (103.1 MHz, now 105.7 MHz) in 1977, one year after general manager Mike Wilson became co-owner with Hay. The AM/FM simulcast lasted for ten years before the two stations became separate entities in 1987. The FM station became country, while the AM began airing a classic hits format, received via satellite. However, the morning programming continued to simulcast on the FM. [2]
The station changed its call letters to WAKY on April 14, 1988; the Louisville-based station that previously held this call sign relinquished control of those call letters the month before. [2]
On November 5, 2007, the station changed its call sign back to WGRK. [3]
The station's owners surrendered its license to the Federal Communications Commission on December 21, 2018, who cancelled the license the same day.
