KBYR-FM 91.5 is a radio station in Rexburg, Idaho, United States. It is one of two program services operated by BYU-Idaho Radio, the radio division of Brigham Young University-Idaho, and offers inspirational and religious programs.

It launched as KWBH in 1993, and served as the continuation of the non-broadcast student radio station on the campus of what was then Ricks College, KVIK,[1] which was a carrier current outlet and had existed since 1959.[2] It also aired programs from the Bonneville International LDS Radio Network.[3] As with its sister station, KRIC, it broadcast from Spori Hall until it was gutted in a 2000 fire. The call sign changed in 2001, the same year that Ricks College became BYU–Idaho.[2]
