Newsradio 630 WLAP is Lexington's news and talk station. It broadcasts on 630 AM and serves Lexington and Central Kentucky with the slogan "The Home of the Kentucky Wildcats". The station is owned by iHeartMedia, and on this page you can listen to WLAP live online, free.

Wildcats country

WLAP is part of the UK Sports Network, so Kentucky Wildcats basketball and football are at the heart of the station's year.

News and talk

The rest of the schedule is news and talk, with national news from ABC News Radio and programs from Premiere Networks and Compass Media Networks.

Studios

The studios and offices are on Nicholasville Road in Lexington.

From Louisville to Lexington

WLAP signed on on September 15, 1922, in Louisville and moved to Lexington on March 17, 1934, where it has served the Bluegrass for more than ninety years.
