WNKY-DT2

WNKY-DT2 is the CBS-affiliated television station for South Central Kentucky. The station is a second digital subchannel of NBC affiliate WNKY owned by Max Media. Over-the-air, it broadcasts a standard definition digital signal on UHF channel 16.2 ([[virtual channel 40.2 via PSIP) from a transmitter on Pilot Knob in Smiths Grove along I-65. This can also be seen on Insight channel 10 and in high definition on digital channel 912. Known on-air as CBS 40, its parent station has studios on Emmett Avenue in Bowling Green. Syndicated programming on WNKY-DT2 includes My Name Is Earl, Friends, The Insider, and Swift Justice with Nancy Grace among others.

There is no separate website for this station. Its local logo includes the network's "eye logo" representing the "0" in "40". WNKY signed a long term affiliation deal with CBS to air the network on a new second digital subchannel. This launched on February 1, 2007 and until that point Bowling Green did not have its own affiliate. Nashville's WTVF or Louisville, Kentucky's WLKY-TV were formerly the default CBS stations in the market. The distant CBS affiliates have mostly been removed from cable providers in South Central Kentucky.

Bowling Green currently has every major network affiliate except MyNetworkTV and ION Television. However, despite the existence of WNKY-DT2 WTVF remains on Insight systems. This station simulcasts weather updates from the main channel. Weekday mornings at 9, it repeats WNKY's half-hour morning show known as Bowling Green Today. Weather forecasts from the station can be heard on WBGN-AM 1340, WBVR-FM 96.7, WUHU-FM 107.1, and WLYE-FM 94.1.
