WLGK (94.7 FM) is a worship music radio station in the Louisville, Kentucky, metropolitan area. It is owned by the Word Media Group.

On December 22, 2016, Salem Media Group announced that it would hand operation of its Louisville radio stations, including the then-WFIA-FM, to Word Broadcasting Network (also known as Word Media Group) under a time brokerage agreement. Word ended WFIA-FM's simulcast on WFIA (900 AM), with the AM station changing to a simulcast of Word's contemporary Christian station WJIE-FM. On February 10, 2020, Word Broadcasting announced that it would take advantage of the option in its agreement to acquire the stations from Salem for $4 million; the sale was completed on May 25, 2022.

On August 7, 2023, WFIA-FM changed its format from Christian talk to worship music, branded as "94.7 The Sound"; a new WLGK call sign went into effect on August 10. The format change again ended the station's simulcast with WFIA (900 AM); the "Sound" programming is simulcast in Fort Knox, Kentucky, on WLVK (105.5 FM), which had launched the format in February 2023 under a local marketing agreement.
