==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=January 3, 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 |title=WCKV TV-Grid July 2014|url=http://wckv.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/WCKV-TV-Grid-July-2014.htm |access-date=March 11, 2023 |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 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.) |
