WZYK (94.7 FM) is a radio station with an adult contemporary format. Licensed to Clinton, Kentucky, United States, the station serves the Purchase area of Western Kentucky. The station is currently owned by Bristol Broadcasting Company, Inc.[1]

History

The station went on the air as WXID. Its call letters were changed to WBLN on 1997-03-17. On 1998-03-17, the station changed its call sign to WIVR-FM, on 1999-09-24 to WIVR, on 2000-06-30 to WLLE, on 2004-06-14 to WQQR, and on 2014-04-10 to the current WZYK.[2]

  • On September 15, 2008, The Double Q re-launched their on-air product, adding a wider selection of music and a new logo. They also acquired the highly sought-after Brian James to be the voice of the station's imaging.
  • On November 1, 2013, The Double Q switched to an all Christmas format branding themselves as "Christmas 94.7". The Facebook site was taken down and the website was revamped, with a link to a YouTube video "Retooning the Holidays". A video was posted on Facebook by DJ Chris Cash signing the Double Q off the air for the final time.
  • On November 28, 2013, an advertising agency rep announced that the new format would be an Adult Contemporary station.
  • On January 1, 2014, WQQR launched its new adult contemporary format, branded as "94.7 The Mix".
