KYWA (90.7 FM) is a non-commercial radio station in Wichita, Kansas. The station broadcasts a Christian contemporary format from the WayFM network.
The station went on the air in March 1989 as KGAM. It was one of eventually five stations owned by the New Life Fellowship Church and cycled through formats, including Christian music (as KGAM and KZZD), gospel (as KIBN), and a brokered Spanish-language format. An attempt to sell the station to the producer of the Spanish-language programming failed in July 1995, weeks after New Life's pastor was arrested on money laundering charges. The church was forced into bankruptcy and sold to Word of Life Ministries; the KZZD call letters returned, along with a Christian rock format. The station was sold to WayFM in 2004 and integrated into its network.
