WYUL (94.7 FM, "94-7 Hits FM") is a rhythmic contemporary formatted radio station licensed in Chateaugay, New York.

Though the station serves nearby communities in the North Country (including Malone and Massena), it primarily targets the larger market of Montreal. Its city-grade signal reaches the southwestern portion of Greater Montreal, while its C2 class signal covers most of Montreal proper. To that end, WYUL's current slogan is "Montreal's Hottest Music". It also targets Cornwall and Hawkesbury, Ontario.

Its competitors are CKBE (92.5 The Beat), CJFM-FM (Virgin Radio 96), CKMF-FM (Énergie) and CKOI-FM; all of which are Montreal stations. Although WYUL has a smaller signal then most of its competitors, it is the most liked and effective Montreal radio station on social media.

The station was originally a rebroadcast station on top 40 WYSX Ogdensburg, New York until 2002, when the station segued to its own branding and format. WYUL's sister stations are WVNV 96.5 and WICY, both licensed in Malone. In addition, WYUL increased its effective radiated power to 50,000 watts. WYUL became Montreal's first English-language contemporary hit radio station since 1991, when CHTX (990 Hits) became CKIS (that station is still in operation as CKGM) and CJFM-FM's flip from contemporary hit radio to adult top 40 at that time.

As a U.S.-based station licensed by the Federal Communications Commission, WYUL is exempt from Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission regulations regarding Canadian content and the language of broadcast. Though it primarily broadcasts in English, this allows the station to accept French-language advertising, which is not permitted on Canadian-licensed English-language stations. Also, as a US based station it is not subject to the CRTC Canadian Content rules.A side effect of this status is that BBM Canada does not measure WYUL's audience. The stations current program director is Billy Teed, a well-known broadcaster originally from Massachusetts.^[1]
