History.
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 format. WBUL is a former Louisville marketed affiliate for Rick Dees Weekly Top 40, which is something that is unusual in an adult contemporary station. This lasted for a short time until WDJX began broadcasting and became a dominant Louisville marketed affiliate for the program. On May 26, 1999, the station changed its call sign to the current WLCR.
