History
WVTN's construction permit was granted in 1989 as W48BD, and was on the air by the mid 1990s. It has been airing religious programming ever since. Its current call letters of WVTN-LP came alongon October 25, 1999. 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.
