KHYL

KHYL (101.1 MHz) is an FM radio station serving the Sacramento, California area and broadcasting a classic hip hop radio format. KHYL calls itself V 101.1. It is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. and is licensed to Auburn, California. The station has studios in North Sacramento near the Arden Fair Mall, and its transmitter is near Auburn.

History

The station signed on December 21, 1961, with the call letters KAFI, largely simulcasting 950 AM KAHI in Auburn, California, a sister station at the time.

After a signal upgrade in 1977 to target the Sacramento metropolitan area, the call letters were changed to KHYL and the station carried an oldies format known as "K-HYL". It dabbled with adult contemporary music in the mid 1980s.

The studios were moved to 2435 Marconi in Sacramento and the branding became "Solid Gold 101" in the late 80's and "Oldies 101" until 1991. John Parker owned the station until American Media purchased and re-branded the station as "COOL 101" in 1991.

COOL 101 was imaged in the style of Drake-Chenault (KYNO/KHJ/KFRC) Top 40 Radio delivery, with the use of the Johnny Mann Boss Radio Jingles, top the hour timpani and the booming voice of Charlie Van Dyke. COOL 101 also added the San Francisco 49ers football broadcasts to the station's schedule, not a common move for FM music stations in those days. KHYL was usually one of the top 5 stations in the 25-54 ratings demographic during this time (per Arbitron) until May 25, 1999, when the Gold format was switched to Urban Oldies.
