WKKL (90.7 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Full service format. Licensed to West Barnstable, Massachusetts, USA, the station serves the Cape Cod area. The station is currently owned by Cape Cod Community College.[2] The station is used as part of the classroom setting for their Associate degree program in communications. The studios are located on the campus of Cape Cod Community College in the Makkay Broadcast Center. WKKL's format is college alternative, with a wide variety of diverse student programming. A Spanish and Portuguese language program is featured on Sunday evenings. For many years, WKKL simulcast some hours of programming from Boston public radio station WBUR from 1992.[3] That relationship ended in 1999, due to WBUR's 1997 acquisition of the 1240 AM frequency in West Yarmouth, the signal of which heavily overlaps with WKKL.[4] WKKL is proud to broadcast its student-driven programming 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

WKKL's General Manager is Sarah Colvin Nelson.
