WSHW, "Shine 99" is an FM radio station owned by Kaspar Broadcasting in Frankfort, Indiana. The station operates on the FM radio frequency of 99.7 MHz. The station has an office and studio in Kokomo and Frankfort. Shine 99 serves a 14 county area from its tower and transmitter located near the Howard, Clinton, Carroll County line.
During the summer of 2015, the station flipped its music format to Contemporary Hit Radio (CHR) after spending several years evolving from its original Adult Contemporary music (AC) sound to a brighter, more contemporary music mix. WSHW has operated under the "Shine 99" moniker since 1982.
WSHW was the first station in Indiana and second FM radio station in the United States to broadcast in HD 24/7 during HD's development phase. Sister station WILO was the first AM station in the U.S. To broadcast an HD signal 24/7. WSHW also worked with Delphi Delco during the development phase of RDS (Radio Data System) which is now commonplace on most radio dash systems.
WSHW is not currently licensed by the FCC to broadcast in HD.[1]
