WAKY (103.5 FM) is a radio station licensed to Radcliff, Kentucky, USA, the station serves the Louisville area. The station is currently owned by W & B Broadcasting, Inc..[3] The station's studios are located in Elizabethtown, Kentucky.
The station went on the air as WUOX on 1991-11-01. on 1992-10-30, the station changed its call sign to WLVK, on 1995-07-17 to WASE, on 2007-05-11 to the current WAKY.[4]
The WAKY calls and oldies format the station airs are an homage to Louisville's WAKY AM 790, a legendary and popular Top 40 music station from the late 1950s to the late 1970s. The original WAKY had its own stint as an oldies station from 1982 to 1986 and is now WKRD. Prior to adopting the WAKY calls, 103.5 FM also played oldies as WASE "Kool 103.5."
Since former competitor WRKA 103.1 FM dropped its classic hits format in favor of contemporary country music, WAKY is now the only rock oldies station in the Louisville market.
