AM 1460 WRVK was founded by John Lair and Tom Hargis in Renfro Valley, and first went on the air in April of 1957 from the former CBS/WHAS Studios in the Pioneer Museum Building. The station has, however been owned and operated completely separately from the Renfro Valley Entertainment Center ever since the late 1970s. Since 2002, WRVK has been independently owned and operated by Charles and Bobbie Saylor, of Saylor Broadcasting, Inc. of Mt. Vernon, Kentucky.
