WNKY-DT2 is the CBS-affiliated television station for South Central Kentucky. The station is a second digital subchannel of NBC affiliate WNKY owned by Max Media. Over-the-air, it broadcasts a standard definition digital signal on UHF channel 16.2 (virtual channel 40.2 via PSIP) from a transmitter on Pilot Knob in Smiths Grove along I-65. Known on-air as CBS 40, its parent station has studios on Emmett Avenue in Bowling Green.
This station can also be seen on Time Warner Cable channels 10 (SD) and 912 (HD), as well as Dish Network channel 4. It can also be viewed on South Central Rural Telephone Cooperative (SCRTC) cable channels 2 (SD) and 302 (digital HD).
There is no separate website for this station. From its inception until 2013, its local logo includes the network's "eye logo" representing the "0" in "40".
The CBS Television Network never had an affiliated station in the Bowling Green media market even after it was made out of areas that were formerly of the Nashville and Louisville markets. Bowling Green was one of the only few areas of the eastern United States east of the Mississippi River to not have their own CBS station. Two distant CBS affiliates were the default CBS stations for the Bowling Green area, and they were WTVF NewsChannel 5 in Nashville, and WLKY-TV channel 32 in Louisville. Cable providers in the area carried either one or both of these stations, so cable was necessary to get the two stations, although WTVF had a signal strong enough to cover most of the Bowling Green DMA.
