WBKO-DT2 is the Fox-affiliated television station for South Central Kentucky. Licensed to Bowling Green, the station is the second digital subchannel of ABC affiliate WBKO that is owned by Gray Television. WBKO-DT2's parent studios are located at 2727 Russellville Road (US 68/KY 80) alongside the William H. Natcher Parkway in Bowling Green.
Over the air, it broadcasts a 16:9 widescreen standard definition digital signal on VHF digital channel 13.2 (displayed as channel 13.2 via PSIP) from the station's transmitter, which is located in unincorporated northern Warren County along Kentucky Route 185 (Richardsville Road). WBKO-DT2 can also be viewed via Charter Spectrum channels 8 (SD) and 910 (HD).
South Central Kentucky's original Fox affiliate was WKNT (now WNKY) from January 10, 1992 until March 27, 2001, when WNKY dropped its Fox affiliation to become an NBC affiliate. At that point, WZTV in Nashville, Tennessee became the default Fox affiliate for Bowling Green over-the-air, and on cable in many locations in the Bowling Green market. However, WDRB in Louisville was carried on cable systems in Hart County. WCAY-TV (now WUXP, later a UPN affiliate, now a MyNetworkTV affiliate) was the default Fox affiliate for Bowling Green from the network's 1987 inception until that station lost it to WZTV in 1990. That station became the default Fox affiliate for the Bowling Green area from that point until WNKY signed up with Fox in 1992 only to re-assume the title from March 2001 until September 2006. From 1990 until 1992, Campbellsville-licensed WGRB (now CW affiliate WBKI-TV) was an alternate Fox affiliate for some areas east of Bowling Green until their switch to The WB in 1997.
