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.
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 in 2008 as part of Clear Channel's plan to exit small market radio.
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.
