W240CP (95.9 MHz) is a low-power radio station translator in Bowling Green, Kentucky and is owned by Seven Mountains Media. It airs a classic hip hop format that simulcasts a second HD Radio subchannel of parent station WBVR-FM, which is licensed to Horse Cave, but also serves Bowling Green and Glasgow. The translator's transmitter is located near Rockfield.[1]
History
WOVO launched the station on a HD2 subchannel in 2015. At the time of the launch, most radio users did not have an HD Radio set, so the subchannel has been simulcasting over two translators, W239BT (95.7 MHz) of Glasgow, and W240CP in Bowling Green; both were launched in April 2015. On March 21, 2018, W240CP rebranded as "95.9 The Vibe".[2]
The simulcast between the two translators ended on November 18, 2024, when W239BT became a separate entity; that station would later become a translator of WLLI (102.3 MHz, now WBGN) of Munfordville, Kentucky.
Signal coverage
The translator station can be received on a regular radio tuner in all parts of Warren and Simpson Counties, along with much of neighboring Allen, Butler, Edmonson, and Logan Counties. The small community of Mitchellville, Tennessee can also receive at least Grade C coverage.[3] An HD radio set is necessary to receive the HD2 subchannel anywhere within WBVR-FM's signal coverage area. W239BT expands the analog radio coverage into Barren, Hart, Metcalfe, and Monroe Counties in southern Kentucky.
