History

The station signed on the air as WVHM in 1994, when it was originally licensed to Central City. It was a non-commercial station broadcasting a religious format. The station's call letters were changed to the current WNTC in 1999.

In October 2001, sometime after the license was moved to its current location in Drakesboro, the station was acquired by the Nashville Sportsradio, Inc., a unit of Southern Wabash Communications. That company, which owns WNSR of Brentwood, Tennessee, converted the station into a full-time repeater of that station, hence making a sports radio station.[2] This makes the WNSR coverage area expanded into the Kentucky portion of the Clarksville, TN-Hopkinsville, KY radio market, and making coverage available well into portions of Butler, Logan, and Ohio counties, and as far north and west as Calhoun and Madisonville.
