WANY (1390 AM) was a radio station licensed to Albany, Kentucky, United States. The station operated from 1958 until 2019.
History
The station began its first broadcasts in October 1958 under management by Welby Hoover, who would later put WJRS-FM on the air in Jamestown, Kentucky.
The station began simulcasting through its companion station WANY-FM upon that station's launch in 1966.
WANY was last owned by Pamela Allred, through the Albany Broadcasting Company. Its license was cancelled by the Federal Communications Commission on August 3, 2020, due to the station having been silent for more than a year. The station's final broadcast took place in 2019.
