WKJK (1080 AM) is a commercial radio station broadcasting a talk radio format in Louisville, Kentucky. It is owned by iHeartMedia and serves North-Central Kentucky and South-Central Indiana. It features programming from iHeart subsidiary Premiere Networks as well as Compass Media Networks.[2] The station's studios are in the Louisville neighborhood of Watterson Park.
By day, WKJK is powered at 10,000 watts. Because 1080 AM is a clear-channel frequency, WKJK must reduce power at night to 1,000 watts to protect the Class A stations on 1080 kHz, KRLD Dallas and WTIC Hartford, Connecticut. It uses a directional antenna off East Daisy Lane in New Albany, Indiana.[3]
