WLGK (FM)
On December 22, 2016, Salem Media Group announced that it would hand operation of its Louisville radio stations, including the then-WFIA-FM, to Word Broadcasting Network (also known as Word Media Group) under a time brokerage agreement. Word ended WFIA-FM's simulcast on WFIA (900 AM), with the AM station changing to a simulcast of Word's contemporary Christian station WJIE-FM. On February 10, 2020, Word Broadcasting announced that it would take advantage of the option in its agreement to acquire the stations from Salem for $4 million; the sale was completed on May 25, 2022.
On August 7, 2023, WFIA-FM changed its format from Christian talk to worship music, branded as "94.7 The Sound"; a new WLGK call sign went into effect on August 10. The format change again ended the station's simulcast with WFIA (900 AM); the "Sound" programming is simulcast in Fort Knox, Kentucky, on WLVK (105.5 FM), which had launched the format in February 2023 under a local marketing agreement.
