WBCE (1200 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a religious format, licensed to Wickliffe, Kentucky, United States.
[6] WBCE applied to build an FM station in Wickliffe, which was approved in 1984 after the competing applicant for the frequency dropped out,[7] though it was never built.
The AM station also got a boost when it moved from 1010 to 1200 kHz in 1985, increasing its power to 1,000 watts from 250, though it remained daytime-only.
[8] 1986 brought with it a sale to religious ownership, when WBCE, Inc. was bought by Bibletime Ministries, an outgrowth of Faith United Church in Paducah, headed by Jim Baggett.
[9] The station had been originally backed by the Small Business Administration, but when the Beal Bank bought the loan, it accelerated the payment schedule, forcing Baggett into foreclosure in 2004.
