WFTG 1400 AM THE WOLF

London's legendary 1400 WFTG AM is one of southeastern Kentucky's most recognized radio stations, and your home for classic country music from the 70s, 80s and early 90s.

We play the best music from a never-to-be-forgotten era, from artists like Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, George Jones, and Alabama.

The Wolf is also London's home for local high school sports, Cincinnati Reds baseball and a Laurel County tradition — the Swap Shop, with Brian Sizemore.

When you're in the mood for classic country hits, there's only one place to turn — 1400 The Wolf WFTG AM!

PHONE SCAM REPORTED IN LAUREL COUNTY

Sheriff John Root is reporting that Laurel Sheriff's Sgt. E. R. Rudder is investigating a scam where a phone caller is attempting to gain personal information from persons by telling persons they will attempt to help them remove "bugs" from their computer. The caller is requesting personal information from people's home computer, and that the information is needed over the telephone. The sheriff's office is reminding everyone that they should not give out any personal information about themselves, or their computer to unknown persons calling. This case is obviously a scam.
