99.5 WAIL is a radio station broadcasting a classic rock format. Licensed to Key West, Florida, USA, the station serves the Florida Keys area. The station is currently owned by Robert Holladay, through licensee Florida Keys Media, LLC.

This station was originally on 95.5 FM WVFK with a eclectric music format. That transmitter site burned in the 1980's and was returned to the original owner. The station signed on with a country format. It was sold in the 1980's and was change to a electric rock format. The tower was destroyed in a hurricane, and once again was returned to the original owners which switched the station a top 40 format. The station was sold once again and went bankrupt and was reposed by the original owners once again. I the 1990's the station was sold to Clear Channel, and is classic rock.

On January 25, 2008, it was announced that WAIL-FM was one of several Clear Channel radio stations to be sold, in order to remain under the ownership caps following the sale of Clear Channel to private investors. Until it was sold, WAIL and other stations to be sold were placed into the Aloha Stations Trust.

WAIL used to be known as "99.5 The Whale." WAIL simulcasted with WFKZ and the two stations were formally known as "99.5/103.1 Sun FM."

The trust sold WAIL and three sister stations to Robert Holladay's Florida Keys Media, LLC for $650,000; the transaction was consummated February 28, 2014.

WAIL simulcasts on WFKZ during the Hoebee In The Afternoon Experiment, M-W 2-6, TH2-7 and Fri 2-6. They also air the same Saturday night programing, The Night Train With Joey Naples.
