WSOF (89.9 FM) is a Christian radio–formatted radio station licensed to Madisonville, Kentucky, United States. The station is currently owned by Madisonville Baptist Temple Inc. WSOF serves as the flagship station of the Light & Truth Radio Network, which consists of an additional 4 full-power FM stations across Western Kentucky, West Tennessee, and Southern Illinois.[2] The station's transmitter is located at the church on Island Ford Road (KY 281) on the northeast side of Madisonville.
WSOF went on-the-air in February 1977 as a ministry of Island Ford Baptist Church. At its start, the station aired programming 18 hours a day.[1] In 2005, IFBC purchased WAJJ in McKenzie, Tennessee. In November 2021, WSOF applied for three construction permits for new non-commercial stations. All of them would be granted, with the three stations launching by 2023.[3]
