History

KHWL was first licensed in 2012 and was owned by Wolfpack Media LLC.[2] It originally aired an active rock format, and was branded "K-HOWL 98.7".[3][4][5] The station played hard rock, death metal, bizarre drunken rantings at night, inappropriate, expletive-laced commentaries and an eclectic mix of music enjoyed by a very, very loyal but largely broke listeners. Not surprisingly, Wolfpack Media went broke doing so. Effective December 1, 2018, the station was sold to Fuchs Radio for $60,000.[3][4] Its' new owners changed its format to news/talk, as "News Radio 98.7".[6] On June 4, 2020, KHWL switched to a red dirt music format, branded as "98.7 Red Dirt Rebel."[7]
