WTAO-FM (92.7 FM, "TAO Rocks @ 92.7") is an American active rock music formatted radio station licensed to Herrin, Illinois, serving the Marion-Carbondale, Illinois, area.
History
The frequency previously aired a Top 40 (CHR) format branded as "KISS-FM", competing with WCIL-FM, under the ownership of Clear Channel Communications. It was divested and sold to Withers Broadcasting Companies in 2008 as part of Clear Channel's plan to exit small market radio.[1]
In July 2009, the top 40 format and WVZA call sign were moved to 105.1 FM in Murphysboro, Illinois, with the active rock format and WTAO-FM call sign coming over to 92.7 FM.
