W239BT
Radio station in Glasgow, Kentucky
W239BT (95.7 MHz) is a low-powered radio translator station that is licensed to Glasgow, Kentucky, United States, and primarily serving the Caveland area and the Bowling Green, Kentucky vicinity. Owned by Commonwealth Broadcasting, it airs a simulcast of adult hits-formatted WBGN 102.3 FM in Munfordville, and it is known on air as "102.3/95.7 Jack FM". W239BT transmits from a tower located near Haywood, just southwest of Glasgow.
The translator-style radio station is simulcast over a HD2 subchannel, WHHT-HD2, that can be accessible via an HD Radio Tuner. This makes WHHT the second radio station in Bowling Green to multi-plex their HD Radio signal; sister station WPTQ was the first in the market to do so.
01History
WOVO launched the station on a HD2 subchannel in 2015. Most radio users do not have an HD Radio set, so the subchannel has been simulcasting over two translators, W239BT of Glasgow, and W240CP in Bowling Green; both were launched in April 2015.
On March 21, 2018, W239BT/WOVO-HD2 rebranded as "95.9 The Vibe".
On November 18, 2024, W239BT switched its parent station from WOVO's HD2 subchannel to WHHT's HD2 subchannel and began stunting with Christmas music, branded as "Santa 102.3/95.7", simulcasting WLLI (102.3 FM, now WBGN). On December 26, W239BT ended stunting and launched a simulcast of adult hits-formatted WLLI (102.3 FM), licensed in Munfordville.
02Signal coverage
The station's translator signal mainly covers Barren, Allen, and nearby portions of neighboring counties. The signal can be picked up as far west as Bowling Green, as far north as Munfordville, as far east as Edmonton, and as far south as rural northern Macon County, Tennessee.
