KOHL (89.3 FM) is a student-run college radio station licensed to and owned by Ohlone Community College District in Fremont, California. The station broadcasts a Contemporary hit radio format.

KOHL is the primary instructional facility for the Ohlone College Radio Broadcast program.

89.3 KOHL signed on in 1972, as a 10 watt FM station. A residential house located on the Ohlone College Fremont campus served as home to both the studios and transmitter. The KOHL logo reflected this. The logo consisted of KOHL in bold lettering at the top, a house in the middle, and "Ohlone College" written at the bottom. Adjacent to the back of the house was an antenna. This is very similar to how things really were at the facility. The transmitter sat in the fireplace of the house. A line of coaxial cable took the signal from the transmitter up through the chimney and then over to the tower.

In 1981, KOHL adopted a CHR format, shedding its previous free-form typical college radio sound.

In 1984, KOHL was granted an increase in power by the FCC moving the station up to 100 watts ERP. The transmitter remained in building 29, while the studios were moved into building 4 on the Ohlone College campus. In 1992, KOHL was once again granted an increase in power, bringing the station to 145 watts ERP. The transmitter was moved from building 29 to Mission Ridge. The move in power and location gave KOHL a much farther-reaching signal that could be heard from as far north as Oakland to San Jose in the south bay. This configuration remains today.

In October 1995, the Gary Soren Smith Center for the Fine and Performing Arts was officially opened at the Ohlone College Fremont Campus. The Smith Center consists of two theater venues, a dance studio, an amphitheater, and a broadcasting complex. The second floor of the broadcasting complex was specifically designed for KOHL (the first floor houses Ohlone College's TV station, ONTV). The facility consists of four studios, support offices, an engineering center and a classroom. In addition to moving into brand new custom studios, KOHL also made the move to the RCS Master Control digital radio platform, which ultimately became an industry standard. KOHL was one of the earliest west coast broadcast facilities to make the transition and was often used by the RCS company as a showcase for the product. In 2005, KOHL converted from the DOS based RCS Master Control system to the Windows XP version.

In 1999, the branding and imaging of KOHL received an overhaul to better adapt the station for the modern radio industry, the old slogan of "The Best Music!" was retired and replaced with "Music. Attitude"., the imaging between songs took on a more aggressive sound. Often using agro rock or industrial music underneath the station voice became heavily processed and more drops from television and movies were worked into the production, the logo was changed as well moving from a two-color handwriting type font to a larger bolder faced offset stacked. The three color of red, white, and black logo with "89.3" on the top and "KOHL" on the bottom.
