History
In 2006, KVIL launched its secondary HD Radio channel as "Chick Rock", playing rock music from female artists such as
After KVIL retooled its AC format to
On October 7, 2015, KVIL-HD2 jettisoned its Christian rock format and flipped to smooth jazz as "The Oasis 103.7 HD2", which was relocated from sister station KMVK's HD2 channel. Sometime in July 2017, "The Oasis" was retooled to have an expanded jazz playlist and live personalities. While the focus was still on smooth jazz, The Oasis rebranded itself as a "Modern Jazz" station.[4] KVIL-HD2's programming was also heard on Audacy's platform.
On January 11, 2024, Audacy has ceased operations of "The Oasis" and moved its in-house Channel Q programming from this station's HD3 slot to 103.7 HD2. With the addition of Dallas in year's past, Channel Q is heard in the nation's five largest radio markets and currently competes with Pride Radio on KHKS HD2. "The Oasis" on the Audacy platform has been replaced largely in function with the company's similarly-formatted "Soundscapes".
Channel Q is currently on about 40 Audacy stations, mostly on the HD2 or HD3 subchannel.
