790 WWKY
WWKY Trivia: Before the WWKY calls came to Louisville, they spent many, many years attached to the 1380 frequency in Winchester, Kentucky. The most famous station that occupied the 790 frequency in Louisville previously was, of course, WAKY. WWKY launched in 1989 with a traditional country format (imaged as "True Country"), but by 1991 the station had transitioned to a mix of country and news/talk, eventually dropping music altogether. In 2001 WWKY switched to an all-sports format and marketed itself as "XTRA Sports 790" with a call letter change to WXXA. Letter from WWKY Management - August 15, 1989 Letter from WWKY Management - April 19, 1991
