KWYX (93.5 FM) is a radio station licensed to Casper, Wyoming, United States. The station is currently owned by Cochise Broadcasting LLC.[2][3]

The station began as a construction permit in 2006. The station received its license to cover on June 5, 2009. It has been a country station its entire life.[4]

In 2017, the FCC found that several stations owned by Cochise Broadcasting were silent, including KWYX. KWYX along with several others were agreed upon to be divested and converted to non-commercial status.[5] Several of the stations in the decision were donated to the University of Wyoming. Cochise was able to keep its Casper stations.[6]

The station transmitter is located on Casper Mountain, south of the city of Casper.[7]
