From 1992 into the early- and mid-2000s, the station broadcast Jefferson Pilot Sports coverage of select Southeastern Conference football and (beginning in 2001) basketball games, including those involving the Kentucky Wildcats. From 2002 to 2006, the station also aired preseason games of the National Football League's Tennessee Titans produced by WKRN-TV of Nashville. The station also had a history of airing select broadcasts of Notre Dame Fighting Irish football. It also shared some Big Ten Conference basketball game broadcasts with WFTE/WMYO.
