KKGL (96.9 FM, "The Eagle") is a commercial radio station located in Nampa, Idaho that serves the Boise area. KKGL airs a classic rock format. This station is also an affiliate for the Bob and Tom Show.

The station signed on the air in February 1977 as KUUZ with a top 40 format.

In 1982 the station changed callsigns to KBNY and aired a middle-of-the-road (MOR) format.

The station later switched to an adult contemporary format. In 1986, the call sign was changed to KFML.

In 1987, the call sign was changed to KLCI and by 1989 the format was adult rock with "Boise's New...Rock 97" as branding.

KLCI switched to playing only classics as “Classic Rock 97” by 1993. In the mid-1990s, KLCI rebranded as “B96.9, Boise’s Best Rock”. In 1997, the station changed its name to “96.9 The Eagle”, along with changing call signs to KKGL.

On St. Patrick's day 1993, the morning DJ crew released hundreds of snakes into the town. This was an attempt to promote KKGL's new format. The idea was to get the listening audience to "drive out the snakes" in honor of St. Patrick. Unfortunately not enough people were tuned in that day. As a result it is now known as the worst example of introducing an invasive species in the Nampa Idaho area.
