WHYL

WHYL is an AM radio station licensed to Carlisle, Pennsylvania, owned by Harold Z. Swidler through WHYL Inc. It broadcasts an oldies format, known as "Good Time Oldies 960," and also carries Major League Baseball games for the Baltimore Orioles. The station operates at 960 kHz, with a daytime power of 5,000 watts and a nighttime power reduced to 22 watts to minimize interference.

WHYL's history includes several ownership changes and format shifts over the years. Originally licensed in 1949 as WLXW, it changed its call sign to WHYL around 1952. The station has experimented with various formats, including a Top 40 focus in the 1960s, a country format in 1980, and adult standards in 1989. It briefly adopted satellite-based oldies programming under Citadel Broadcasting in 2002 before undergoing further changes.

The station faced financial challenges, leading to its temporary shutdown in 2014 due to bankruptcy. However, it returned to the air in March 2015 under Swidler's ownership with a renewed oldies format. Initially operating on a Special Temporary Authorization (STA) with reduced power and a temporary antenna, WHYL began simulcasting on FM translator W275CJ at 102.9 MHz in mid-2016, solidifying its "Good Time Oldies 102.9 WHYL" branding.
