History[]
WVTN-LD's construction permit was granted in 1989 as W48BD, and it first went on the air on August 1, 1993. It has been airing religious programming ever since. It changed its call sign to WVTN-LP on October 25, 1999, and to WVTN-LD on August 9, 2019. With its 5,000 watts of effective radiated power, Its signal can be picked up in areas of Laurel, Whitley, Knox, McCreary, Rockcastle and parts of Clay, Bell, Jackson and Pulaski counties of eastern Kentucky. The signal may travel as far south as Jellico, in northern Campbell County, Tennessee. With all that said, the station's over-the-air signal covers portions of the Lexington and Knoxville TV markets, but it can not reach either of those cities due to low-power status.
