Listen To The Radio

Good news Enid friends! Three years ago the FCC had KJIL moved from 88.3 to 88.7 FM. As of Friday June 6th, they are now on air at 88.3 FM providing better coverage to Enid and Vance Air Force Base!

So when you can't find them at 88.7, lock them in at 88.3 FM for Contemporary Christian Music! Thank you for hanging in there with them for the past 3 years.
