==Programming==
Aside from programming from The Walk TV, WCKV offers an array of local programming, like ''Clarksville’s Top Spots'', ''Tennessee’s Wild Side'', and many more. The Walk TV’s programming includes a mixture of religious and healthy-lifestyle programming, similar to those of [[Christian Television Network|CTN]] and Doctor TV. One hour of children’s programming is broadcast Monday through Saturday from 3 to 4 p.m. CT, making a total of six hours of children’s educational programming. Some public domain movies and episodes of Bonanza are also aired.
==Coverage area==
WCKV’s transmitter is located in western [[Montgomery County, Tennessee|Montgomery County]] near [[Woodlawn, Tennessee|Woodlawn]] just off [[Tennessee State Route 233]]. With its 10,000 watts of power, its over-the-air signal can cover all of Montgomery County, reach into parts of [[Dickson County, Tennessee|Dickson]], [[Cheatham County, Tennessee|Cheatham]], [[Houston County, Tennessee|Houston]], [[Robertson County, Tennessee|Robertson]], and [[Stewart County, Tennessee|Stewart counties]] of northwestern [[Middle Tennessee]]. Thanks to the city’s proximity to the Kentucky state line, the signal can also penetrate some parts of [[Christian County, Kentucky|Christian]], [[Todd County, Kentucky|Todd]], and [[Trigg County, Kentucky|Trigg]] counties of western [[Kentucky]]. <ref>[http://www.rabbitears.info/contour.php?appid=1611581 WCKV-LD Contour Map @ RabbitEars.Info]</ref>
