History
The station's
Tempo Television, and also periodically aired college football and basketball games involving the University of Louisville Cardinals athletic programs. Unlike Campbellsville's other television outlet at the time, WGRB-TV (later WBKI-TV, channel 34, now defunct), the station also opened a news department that aired at least two newscasts every day. W04BP used its radio sister stations to promote the television outlet.[4]
Sometime between 1987 and 1990, Tempo and CMT were dropped by the station in favor of becoming a
FamilyNet affiliate on a secondary basis, but becoming a religious independent station on a primary basis. In 1990, W04BP was sold to the mass media department of Campbellsville University.[5]
In 2007, the station's callsign was changed to WLCU-CA.
In 2015, WLCU filed an application to switch to digital as it was required for low-power analog stations to convert to digital by the original deadline of September 2015, which was pushed back to spring 2021.Cowboy Channel, WLCU then became an educational independent station in 2018.
On October 18, 2019, the station moved its digital signal to UHF channel 15 as part of its participation in the 2016–17 FCC
broadcast spectrum incentive auction
.
