WHOP (AM)

[3] Music programs were rebroadcast from WSM in Nashville, WHAS in Louisville and WLW in Cincinnati, with local talent performing at the WHOP studio.

[3][8] For its first year on the air, WHOP originally started broadcasting at 1200 kilohertz with 250 watts of power from a transmitter located along Princeton Road.

However, due to the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement (NARBA) of 1941, the station reallocated its AM signal to their current frequency of 1230 kilohertz.

Also in the early 1940s, WHOP was one of the first radio stations in Kentucky to expand agriculture news briefs into complete farm-related shows.

WHOP and WHOP-FM were under the same ownership by The Lackey Family until 1999, when it was sold to its current owner, the Lexington-based Forcht Group of Kentucky.

[3] Sometime in the early 2010s, WHOP had launched low-powered FM translator W237BV to simulcast the station's AM signal onto 95.3 megahertz.
