WLKT-TV was a short lived independent television station that was licensed to and serving Lexington, Kentucky. The station broadcast on UHF channel 62 from a transmitter located in Clark County in an area near Winchester. It was owned by Family Broadcasting Company, Inc., a for-profit group in the area, and operated by non-profit Way of The Cross, Inc. This station was and is not in any way related to WLKT-FM, the Mainstream Top 40 radio station in Lexington.
The station's construction permit was awarded to Family Broadcasting Company in 1983. In spite of that, the station didn't go on the air until October 15, 1988, around eight years after the original channel 62 occupant, WTVQ-TV, relocated to that station's then-current channel 36 assignment. The studios were located in a shopping center at 124 New Circle Road on the northeast side of the city. Programming included 15 hours worth of religious programming per week, while the remaining time slots were used for commercial programming. This was due to a 1986 settlement between Way of the Cross and Family Broadcasting, and both companies had part-ownership of the station.
Due to low viewership and difficulty in receiving the signal outside the immediate Lexington area, WLKT ceased operation at 4:30 p.m. E.T. on the afternoon of June 30, 1989. Not able to find a buyer for the station, the station's license was cancelled by the FCC in 1990.
