WLCR (1040 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Catholic radio format. It is licensed to Mount Washington, Kentucky, United States, and serves the Louisville area. The station is owned by LCR Partners, L.P.[1]

History[edit]

The station began broadcasting as WSAC on October 29, 1955, licensed to Radcliff and moved in 1958 to Fort Knox at 1470 AM.[2] The station first aired a Top 40 format. It changed its call sign to WBUL on August 20, 1984, and became an adult contemporary station. WBUL is a former Louisville market affiliate for Rick Dees Weekly Top 40, which is unusual in an adult contemporary station. This lasted for a short time until WDJX began broadcasting and began carrying the program. On May 26, 1999, the station changed its call sign to the current WLCR.[3]

History of call letters[edit]

One thought on “Cannabaceae

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
