WAYK (105.9 FM) is an American contemporary Christian music station in the Louisville, Kentucky, metropolitan area. It is a WAY-FM Network owned-and-operated station.

105.9 FM signed on as WVSL in 1991. On September 1, 1993, it flipped to active rock as "QMF Too," in reference to then-sister station WQMF (105.9 changed to the WQNF call letters).[1] In July 1995, the station rebranded as "Q105.9" and changed call letters to WXNU.[2] In 1997, it flipped to Modern AC as "Hits 105.9." This was short lived; later that year, WRVI and its Rock AC format moved from 94.7 FM to 105.9.

Prior to 2008, the station was "105.9 The River" owned by Salem Communications.

On May 2, 2011, the then-WSYI rebranded as "Shine 105.9". The station changed its call sign to the current WAYK on December 19, 2013.
