Glasgow is served by all television stations in the Bowling Green area. Glasgow was also previously served by select television stations from Louisville and Nashville, Tennessee on local cable systems.

The city of Glasgow proper is served by the Glasgow Electric Plant Board, while areas surrounding the city is served by the South Central Rural Telephone Cooperative. Both cable companies provide local public-access television channels serving the immediate area. Some other areas of the Glasgow micropolitan area, including parts of Barren and Metcalfe Counties, plus Cumberland County, are served by Mediacom.

Currently, no over-the-air broadcast television stations have any physical presence in Glasgow. However, ABC affiliate WBKO once operated a news bureau during the 1980s and early 1990s.
