KUBL-FM (93.3 MHz) is a radio station broadcasting a country format. Licensed to Salt Lake City, Utah, United States, it serves the Salt Lake City metropolitan area. In September 2022 “K-BULL-93" rebranded itself as “93.3 The Bull“.[2] The station's studios are located in South Salt Lake (behind the I-15/I-80 interchange) and its transmitter site is located southwest of the city on Farnsworth Peak in the Oquirrh Mountains.

History

The station was once known as KWHO-FM, which shared call signs with what is now KKAT. Prior to 1995, KUBL was also known as KLTQ-FM and then KLZX, which became a competitor to KRSP-FM and carried a classic hits format.[3] On May 8, 1995 KLZX became KUBL, switching from classic rock to the current country format.[4][5][3] On September 13, 2022, KUBL was rebranded as "93.3 The Bull".[6]
