WLCR (1040 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Catholic radio format. It is licensed to Mount Washington, Kentucky, United States, and serves the Louisville area. The station is owned by LCR Partners, L.P.[1]
The station began broadcasting as WSAC on October 29, 1955, licensed to Radcliff and moved in 1958 to Fort Knox at 1470 AM. The station first aired a Top 40 format. It changed its call sign to WBUL on August 20, 1984, and became an adult contemporary station. WBUL is a former Louisville market affiliate for Rick Dees Weekly Top 40, which is unusual in an adult contemporary station. This lasted for a short time until WDJX began broadcasting and began carrying the program. On May 26, 1999, the station changed its call sign to the current WLCR.[2]
The call letters WLCR used to be assigned to an AM station in Torrington, Connecticut. It began broadcasting January 1, 1948, on 990 kHz with 1 kW power.[3]
