The transmitter is located on Black Mountain in Henderson. KWNR broadcasts using HD Radio technology: the HD-2 digital subchannel plays classic country music. The HD-3 subchannel carries regional Mexican as "La Campensina 96.7" which feeds FM translator K244EX at 96.7 MHz.
History
[edit]The station first signed on the air on July 18, 1972. It was a non-commercial, non-profit Christian radio station known as KILA. When KILA moved to another frequency in 1985, the short-lived KYYX began. It was a country station designed to compete with country music leader KFMS (101.9 FM). KYYX floundered after two years: in 1987, 95.5 switched to hot adult contemporary as KLSQ (Q95).
In 1989, the station switched its call sign to KWNR and was known as "Winner 95.5". Winner lasted about a year before switching to "New Country 95.5" in September 1990. In 2004, "New Country" was dropped and the station was known as 95.5 KWNR. The "New Country" label came back in the summer of 2006. Streaming began November 17, 2005.
On September 20, 2013, KWNR rebranded as "95.5 The Bull".[2]
KWNR's HD2 subchannel added coverage of Athletics baseball games in 2025, in anticipation of the team's move into the Las Vegas area in 2028.[3]
