WVLE (99.3 FM, "99.3 Love FM") is a radio station licensed to serve Scottsville, Kentucky. The station is owned by Skytower Communications Group, LLC. It airs a soft adult contemporary music format.[4]

History

[edit]

The station began broadcasting as WLCK-FM, an FM companion of WLCK, Scottsville's first radio station. The station simulcasted WLCK's programming full time until 1986, when it became a Country music station.[1]: 145 

The station was assigned these call letters by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on April 28, 1986,[2] per the request made by Danny Tabor, which owned the station with Joe Hite at that time.[1]: 145 

The station would later switch to its current soft adult contemporary format at some time in the 2000s.

Programming

[edit]

In addition to its usual soft AC music playlist, WVLE also broadcasts football and boys' and girls' basketball games involving the athletic programs of Allen County-Scottsville High School.[5]

The audio of WVLE is also heard on North Central Telephone Cooperative cable channel 6.[6]
