KHOL (89.1 FM) is a radio station licensed to Jackson, Wyoming, United States. Also known as Jackson Hole Community Radio, KHOL is the only community radio station in Wyoming. Its studios are located at the Center for the Arts. History After its founders purchased the construction permit from Broadcasting for the Challenged for $18,000 in 2007, KHOL was established in the basement of a barbershop in downtown Jackson from which it made its first broadcast in April 2008. The office space under Teton Barbershop was windowless. KHOL began as a mostly music-format station. After a few years in the barbershop basement, the station relocated to an office building near the Wort Hotel and then in 2012 to a studio in the Center for the Arts. In 2019, Emily Cohen became executive director of KHOL after previous director Zach Zimmerman resigned. That year, the station became affiliated with the Rocky Mountain Radio Network. Cohen attended a conference that inspired her to expand KHOL's infrastructure and seek to affiliate the station with NPR. Just before the COVID-19 pandemic, KHOL received a donation from a private donor as well as a Meta Journalism Project grant from Meta Platforms (then known as Facebook). The network was one of two in Wyoming to receive a grant as part of the Meta Journalism Project. During the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in Jackson, Cohen reduced the station's active volunteer DJs to only two, with one in the morning and one in the afternoon. She hired Jack Catlin, who previously hosted a morning music show on KHOL, as music director. Kyle Mackie, previously at WBFO, was hired as news director, while field reporter Will Walkey was also hired. KHOL subsequently received a Community Service Grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), expanding its overall budget by over 50 percent. After 13 years of operation, it met the CPB requirements for the first time as a result of the recent changes to its structure and operation. The station subsequently solicited feedback from the local community to determine future steps, including the possibility of NPR affiliation. KHOL also established affiliations with the Public Radio Exchange and Radio Bilingüe. , the station had more than 40 volunteers. On July 14, 2021, a planned power outage cut power to KHOL's radio tower at the top of Snow King Mountain, leased from American Tower. Lower Valley Energy did not notify either KHOL or
