==History== |
|||
The station began broadcasting on May 28, 1998 on UHF [[analog television|analog]] channel 69 under the callsign '''W69EC'''. In 2000, the call letters were changed to '''WCKV-LP''', and the station moved to UHF channel 49. WCKV-LP launched their digital signal on '''W30DE-D''', which started broadcasting on UHF digital channel 30 in 2010, with their analog signal being closed down in a flash-cut procedure days later. The station changed their call letters to the current '''WCKV-LD''' in 2013.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rabbitears.info/tvq.php?request=items&facid=188077|title=RabbitEars.Info|publisher=Rabbitears.info|access-date=3 January 2015}}</ref> |

==Programming== |
|||
Aside from programming from The Walk TV, WCKV offers an array of local programming, like ''Clarksville’s Top Spots'', ''Tennessee’s Wild Side'', and many more. The Walk TV's programming includes a mixture of family, healthy-lifestyle, and religious programming, similar to those of [[Christian Television Network|CTN]] and Doctor TV. One hour of children's programming is broadcast Monday through Saturday from 3 to 4 p.m. CT, making a total of six hours of children's educational programming. Some public domain movies and episodes of ''[[Bonanza]]'' are also aired.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://wckv.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/WCKV-TV-Grid-July-2014.htm |access-date=December 28, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141012001945/http://wckv.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/WCKV-TV-Grid-July-2014.htm |archive-date=October 12, 2014 }}</ref> |

In March 2015, WCKV-LD began carrying [[Doctor Television Channel|Doctor TV]] programming on DT2, and classic programming on DT3, with DT4 carrying the [[NRB Network]]. |
|||
In 2018, Doctor TV was dropped from DT2 and was replaced with a [[simulcast]] of DT1. Two years later on June 15, 2020, The DT1 simulcast was replaced with Right Now TV. (A channel that is focused towards a male audience.) |
|||
==Coverage area== |
|||
The station now broadcasts from a tower mast at the corner of Franklin and Second Streets in downtown Clarksville. With its 10,000 watts of power, its over-the-air signal can cover all of Montgomery County, reach into parts of [[Dickson County, Tennessee|Dickson]], [[Cheatham County, Tennessee|Cheatham]], [[Houston County, Tennessee|Houston]], [[Robertson County, Tennessee|Robertson]], and [[Stewart County, Tennessee|Stewart counties]] of northwestern [[Middle Tennessee]]. Thanks to the city's proximity to the Kentucky state line, the signal can also penetrate some parts of [[Christian County, Kentucky|Christian]], [[Todd County, Kentucky|Todd]], and [[Trigg County, Kentucky|Trigg]] counties of western [[Kentucky]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rabbitears.info/contour.php?appid=1611581|title=RabbitEars.Info|publisher=Rabbitears.info|access-date=3 January 2015}}</ref> At least Grade B coverage of WCKV is available as far north as [[Hopkinsville, Kentucky|Hopkinsville]] and [[Elkton, Kentucky|Elkton]]. |
