[edit]KWIL broadcasts a religious radio format to the greater Corvallis, Oregon, area. KWIL programming includes Christian ministry, religious education, and Bible teaching programs.[3][4]
History
[edit]KWIL began broadcasting January 14, 1941, with 250 watts of power on a frequency of 1240 kHz.[5] The station, the first licensed by the FCC to serve Albany, was owned and operated by the Central Willamette Broadcasting Company.[5] In 1953, KWIL changed frequencies to 790 kHz and increased the power of its signal to 1,000 watts, albeit in a directional array with different daytime and nighttime coverage patterns.[6]
KWIL was acquired by Larry Gordon's Albany Radio Corporation on July 1, 1957.[1] Christian broadcaster Integrity Media acquired KWIL and KHPE, its FM sister station, in 1980. Integrity Media changed its name to Extra Mile Media, Inc., in 2005.[4]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
