WAYK (105.9 FM) is an American contemporary Christian music station in the Louisville, Kentucky, metropolitan area. It is a WAY-FM Network owned-and-operated station.
105.9 FM was initially a construction permit with the call letters WVSL in 1991. On September 1, 1993, it officially signed on with an active rock format as "QMF Too," in reference to then-sister station WQMF (105.9 changed to the WQNF call letters). In July 1995, the station shifted to modern rock, rebranded as "Q105.9", and changed call letters to WXNU. In 1997, it flipped to Modern AC as "Hits 105.9." This was short lived; later that year, WRVI and its Rock AC format moved from 94.7 FM to 105.9. The format would later shift to all-80s hits.
Prior to 2008, the station was "105.9 The River" owned by Salem Communications.
On May 2, 2011, the then-WSYI rebranded as "Shine 105.9". The station changed its call sign to the current WAYK on December 19, 2013.
