KWYL (102.9 FM, "Wild 102.9") is a commercial radio station located in South Lake Tahoe, California, USA, broadcasting to the Reno, Nevada, area. The station has a Rhythmic Top 40 music format.

[edit] History

KWYL bagan broadcasting in 2001 as "Wild 93.7", but in 2003 switched frequencies to 102.9, giving the station more signal coverage. Prior to this change, it was a rhythmic oldies outlet kknown as KGVN ("93.7 The Groove") from 2000 to 2001.

The 93.7 signal was later used by two more top 40s stations after KWYL: Rhythmic KYWD ("93.7 The Bomb") from 2003 to 2004 and, since 2004, KWYL's current rival KWNZ, which has returned to its former home at 97.3 as rhythmic top 40 KSGG, as KWYL has moved in a top 40/CHR direction but still leans rhythmic. This left Reno without a rhythmic for years until KSGG began.
