History

The station signed on the air in 1994 as KJWL with an adult standards music format. The station later evolved towards soft adult contemporary, and then adult album alternative, all under the "K-Jewel" branding.

On January 2, 2017, after stunting on New Year's Day with a loop of "Right Now" by Van Halen (as "K-Jewel" moved to KJZN and shifted back to Soft AC), KJWL flipped to Top 40/CHR as "99.3 Now FM".^[2] On January 5, 2017, KJWL changed its call letters to KJZN.^[3] On January 18, 2017, KJZN changed its call letters to KWDO.^[4]

On May 23, 2022, it was announced that the KJWL call letters and its classic hits format would return to 99.3 FM on May 30.^[5]
