History
WAIN was launched in 1951 by Tri-County Broadcasting. The station was led by S.C. Bybee, with additional ownership by Clifford Spurlock. Over the next several years, Spurlock and later Bybee would sell their stakes in the station to Lindsey Wilson College, which became majority owner of the station. This made WAIN the only commercial radio station in Kentucky where a college owned controlling interest. An FM sister station would go on air in 1968.By 1983, the college had sold WAIN-AM-FM to Key Broadcasting, now known as Forcht Broadcasting.
