Via Google books, from Jet Magazine, 5 February 1953:

WAVE, WHAS, and WKLO had both televison and radio stations in Louisville but, I had never heard of WLOU being in the television game. Did it ever happen and what was on channel 41 between that time and when WDRB came along?

WLOU-TV never signed on. WDRB was the first and only occupant on Channel 41.

WKLO-TV signed on in the early 50's on Channel 21. There was a Channel 7 allocation for Louisville and WKLO filed paper work to move to VHF since UHF tuners were rare and optional. However the allocation was moved to Evansville. WKLO-TV signed off a short time later. Channel 21 returned in the eighties as WBNA.
