WHAS radio from Louisville Kentucky and CBS Radio Network broadcasts originated from Renfro Valley in the 1940's and 50s. When WHAS and CBS were leaving Renfro Valley, Mr. John Lair and business partner Tom Hargis utilized the existing broadcasting studio to house a new 500-watt radio station (WRVK) to serve the local area in 1957.Today, WRVK is no longer a part of the Renfro Valley Entertainment Center. In fact, the station has been separately owned and operated for many years now, although WRVK does continue to be among those stations which broadcast Renfro Valley's famous Gatherin' program on Sunday mornings.In 2002, WRVK went under its current ownership, Saylor Broadcasting, Inc. of Mt. Vernon. Charles and Bobbie and their staff have since returned the station to a unique country format very much in keeping with the station's early traditions. We're once again 'Your Homefolks Station!'The WRVK broadcasting studio, and transmitter are now located on Red Foley Road, off US 25 North of Mt. Vernon near KOA Campground at Renfro Valley. Today, WRVK is a 1200 watt AM and a 1000 watt FM broadcasting station, as authorized by the Federal Communications.
