KROL (1430 AM) is a radio station which recently changed from classic country to a CHR format. It is licensed to Carrollton, Missouri, United States. The station is currently owned by Miles Carter, through licensee Carter Media LLC. KROL is re-broadcast by an FM translator (K267BN, Bosworth, Missouri, 101.3 MHz).
On June 16, 2013, the then-KAOL changed their format from classic country to Contemporary Hit Radio (as "The Grenade"). Classic country moved to sister station KRLI 103.9 FM (Malta Bend, Missouri), which had started with a nostalgia/variety format and later switched to Contemporary Hit Radio.
KAOL had previously run a sports format until May 2011.{{cite web|url=http://radioinsight.com/blog/headlines/translation/32961/translator-report-523/|title= Translator Report 5/22|work = Radio Insight}}
