WWKL (93.5 FM, "Hot 93.5") is a commercial FM radio station licensed to serve Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. The station is owned by Cumulus Media, Inc. and broadcasts a Top 40 format. Its broadcast tower is located on Reesers Summit in Fairview Township, York County at (40°10′38.0″N 76°52′37.0″W / 40.177222°N 76.876944°W).
The station signed on for the first time in 1978 as WQVE with its branding as "QV93" under ownership of West Shore Broadcasting. The branding was changed to "Magic 93" in 1982, followed by a call sign change to WKCD.
In 1985, "FM104" WTPA changed call signs to WNNK and its branding to "Wink 104". At that time, Jim O'Leary was an owner of WKCD, and his wife, Carol, was the General Manager at FM104. The two organized a transfer of the WTPA call sign and the station's rock music format to 93.5. In 1987, WTPA relocated its transmitter to a location closer to Harrisburg, along with an increase in effective radiated power from 535 to 830 watts.
By the late 1990s, AMFM, Inc. owned WTPA. AMFM was purchased by Clear Channel Communications in a deal announced on October 3, 1999, and valued at $17.4 billion. As a condition of the Clear Channel-AMFM merger, the United States Department of Justice forced the new company to sell 99 radio stations in 27 markets in United States. WTPA was one, as well as Harrisburg-area stations WNNK-FM, WTCY and WNCE-FM. All went to Cumulus Media.
