SummitMedia has flipped 103.9 FM WRKA, Louisville, from Adult R&B to Classic Country, rebranding the station as “Kentucky Straight 103.9.” The format change took effect Monday and marks a return to the genre for the frequency, which previously aired Classic Country from 2008 to 2018 under names including “Country Legends 103.9” and “103.9 The Hawk.”
The new version of WRKA is centered on Country music from the 1990s and 2000s. The change expands SummitMedia’s Country footprint in the Louisville market. It also owns and operates Q103.1, WQNU, which features current Country hits.
The company has not yet announced any programming or on-air talent changes associated with the launch.

I loved the Groove and this really stinks. Don’t we have enough County stations in this area.
Just found this station Monday morning. Can’t tell you how wonderful it is. Lots of country stations but not country music. I’m passed 82 years and glad to hear my music back.I called my son and he is thrilled. He grew up on real country music. I wouldn’t mind some older but happy with what your offering.
