WWLK (900 AM) was a radio station licensed to serve Eddyville, Kentucky, United States. The station was owned by Tilent, Inc.[2]

History

The station, which was a 250-watt daytime-only station, was assigned a construction permit with the assigned callsign WEAK on September 15, 1980,[3] under original ownership by Lyon County Broadcasting Company. On May 2, 1981, the station was launched by a group of local business people. On March 14, 1986, the station changed its call sign to WWLK following the purchase of the station by Brian Gentry.[4]

The station had been broadcasting a Country music format from its sign on until it was acquired by Bible Time Ministries, albeit with Tilent, Inc. as its licensee on July 20, 1989.[1] The ministries converted it into a Christian radio station as part of its group of stations.[4]

On April 19, 2012, the station's license was cancelled and its call sign deleted by the Federal Communications Commission.[5]
