WHYL (960 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Carlisle, Pennsylvania and serving the Harrisburg metropolitan area. The station is owned by Harold Z. Swidler, with the license held by WHYL, Inc. It broadcasts an oldies radio format. It also carries Baltimore Orioles baseball games. The radio studios and offices are on North Hanover Street in Carlisle.
By day, WHYL is powered at 5,000 watts non-directional. But to protect other stations on 960 AM from interference at night, it drops its power to only 22 watts. The transmitter is on East Baltimore Street in Carlisle, near Interstate 81.[2] WHYL programming is simulcast around the clock on 160 watt FM translator W275CJ at 102.9 MHz. The translator tower is on Blue Mountain northeast of Carlisle.[3][4] It uses the FM translator's dial position in its slogan "Good Time Oldies 102.9 WHYL."
