KXKL-FM, AKA "KOOL 105", is an Classic Hits station serving the Denver-Boulder area. This station is licensed to Denver, Colorado and broadcasts at 105.1 MHz with an ERP of 100 kW and is under ownership of Wilks Broadcasting, which has bought the entire Denver radio cluster (including KXKL) from CBS Radio.^[1] Its studios are located on Colorado Boulevard in Denver, southeast of downtown, and the transmitter is located near Mount Lindo west of Littleton.

History

KXKL began as an oldies radio station in July 1987 under the ownership of Shamrock Communications. The format was also simulcast for a short time on 1280 AM. After several ownership changes during the 1990s, including Chancellor Media, AM/FM, Infinity and CBS Radio, Wilks Broadcasting acquired the station in 2008, along with sister stations KIMN and KWOF. KXKL continues the Classic Hits format today, playing music from the 1970s and 1980s.

An established Denver tradition is the annual KOOL Concert, featuring live performances from artists from the genre ranging from Earth, Wind & Fire to Huey Lewis & The News.

HD Channels

KXKL-HD2 simulcasts sister station KWOF, which airs a Country format.
KXKL-HD3 plays an oldies format of the 1950s and 1960s, similar to the format KXKL adopted upon their original sign-on.
