Don't know when the change happened but 105.5 in Radcliff dropped their simulcast of WAKY and are now called "The Sound" with a Christian A/C format. I couldn't find a website for them or any info. about the change.

WLVK 105.5 (Radcliff) "The Sound"
- Thread starter radiofan502
- Start date
No website, social media or anything for the new brand.
One post appears to indicate it launched on or around May 3.
This whole station is weird, it's been almost a month but it just exists without any evidence anywhere on the internet that it even exists outside of this thread and a single post on Facebook. No streaming, no website, no advertising... it just exists. They don't seem to have any commercials either (but I haven't listened long enough to really confirm that). I know there are tons of religious stations that fly completely under the radar, but they're usually incredibly low budget stations owned by churches or religious groups or are affiliated with one of the large national religious broadcasters. Who is even running this station?
Not strange that it has no website, Facebook page, etc. Many stations have zero online presence.
Not strange to have zero advertising after 30 days in a new format. I was with a station that made a huge entrance in the market and it was a month before the first commercial aired and that was only two a day weekdays from a small local business.
This station may be trying to get it all together at the moment. I can't say, but give it time.

They appear to still be owned by them but the on-air imaging doesn’t sound like them at all. WAKY and Big Cat (before it became another WAKY signal) has this distinctive sound to it that The Sound is totally lacking.
I believe it is an LMA deal from the WAKY owners

A New Sound For Louisville - RadioInsight
Word Media Group has launched Contemporary Worship "94.7 The Sound" on WFIA-FM New Albany IN/Louisville KY. New WLGK call letters are pending for the station, which is also simulcasting on W&B Broadcasting's 105.5 WLVK Fort Knox KY. WFIA-FM had been simulcasting Christian Preaching 900...
radioinsight.com
The WFIA call letters and Christian Preaching remains on 900 AM where it has been since 1965 (except for 10 months in 2017 when they simulcasted WJIE FM 88.5 with WJIE call letters)
I checked out WFIA's translator on 107.3 FM. Sounds terrible and can't make out what is being said. Definitely needs improvement.

According to radio locator, 900AM got the new call letters:

For some reason 900 AM changed to WLGK on August 1 but changed back to WFIA on August 10.
