WKYT-TV is the CBS-affiliated television station in Lexington, Kentucky, United States, serving the east-central part of Kentucky. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 36 (virtual channel 27.1 via ) from a transmitter east of the intersection of I-75 and U.S. 60 in Lexington. Owned by Gray Television, WKYT maintains studios on Winchester Road (near U.S. 60), within a mile from the studios of competing ABC affiliate WTVQ-DT.
The station is also received on cable and satellite throughout much of eastern, southern and northern Kentucky. In addition, the station's newscasts (with the exception of the weekday 5-6 a.m. and 10 a.m., and weekend morning programs) are also carried on Insight Communications (now part of Time Warner Cable) digital channel 422 in portions of northern Kentucky located near the Cincinnati metropolitan area (although some newscasts, especially on weekend evenings, may be delayed or preempted due to sporting events carried by CBS, which are carried on WKRC-TV in that area).
WKYT signed on September 30, 1957 as WKXP-TV, owned by Community Broadcast Partners, a local group headed by Frederic Gregg, Charles Wright and Harry Feingold. It was a primary CBS affiliate, sharing ABC with WLEX-TV.
