KVIL (103.7 MHz, AMP 103.7) is a commercial FM radio station licensed to Highland Park, Texas and serving the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex in North Texas. The station is owned by CBS Radio. The station's studios are located along North Central Expressway in Uptown Dallas, and the transmitter site is in Cedar Hill off West Belt Line Road.
KVIL broadcasts in HD. Its HD-2 signal carries a Smooth Jazz format, known as "The Oasis."
On August 14, 1961, KVIL-FM first signed on the air, as the sister station to AM 1150 KVIL (now KVCE). Because the AM station was a daytime only station, KVIL-FM was used to simulcast the AM's personality middle of the road music format around the clock.
The original location of the studios was in the Highland Park Village Shopping Center (hence the VIL call letters). The address was 4152 Mockingbird Lane at Preston Road, overlooking the Dallas Country Club golf course. In 1962 the owner/manager was John Coyle with the program director being Dillard Carerra. The station had an unusually high power of 119,000 watts in full stereo. (The power has since been reduced to 99,000 watts, because the antenna height was increased.)
