Thanks to Greg Kostraba of WBAA in West Lafayette, IN for the news on WEKU’s long-awaited classical re-launch.
From Kentucky.com:
Public radio station WEKU-88.9 FM has signed a three-year deal to launch its long-discussed classical music station in Central Kentucky. Beginning July 1, WKYL-102.1 FM in Lawrenceburg will be home to the genre that defined WEKU before the Richmond-based station’s switch last year to news and talk, which irked some longtime listeners.
“It’s been a long wait, but we’re looking forward to getting on the air and finding out how we can be the voice of the arts in Central Kentucky,” said WEKU station manager Roger Duvall.
WEKU had hoped to launch the station last year, when it switched its formats to news and talk… but talks with a different frequency operator fell through. Since then, WEKU has continued to air classical music in the evening and overnight. It will continue to do so because the reach of the new station is limited.
