WBVR (1340 AM) is an country music formatted radio station licensed to Bowling Green, Kentucky, United States. The station is owned by Seven Mountains Media. The station's studios are on Scottsville Road in southern Bowling Green, and its transmitter is located off Church Avenue in the northern part of the city. WBVR simulcasts the programming of WBVR-FM (106.3) in Horse Cave.
To complement its AM signal, WBVR operates an FM translator station on 94.5 FM under the callsign W233CZ. That station's transmitter is shared with the AM signal.
The station went on the air in 1959 as WBGN. It broadcast rock, country, top 40, oldies, and sports formats at various points in its history. In 2025, after being acquired by Seven Mountains Media, it became WBVR and began simulcasting WBVR-FM.
