We present a {sup 77}Se NMR study of the effect of S substitution in the high-T{sub c} superconductor K{sub x}Fe{sub 2-y}Se{sub 2-z}S{sub z} in a temperature range up to 250 K. We examine two S concentrations, with z = 0.8 (T{sub c} {approx} 26 K) and z = 1.6 (nonsuperconducting). The samples containing sulphur exhibit broader NMR line shapes than the K{sub x}Fe{sub 2}Se{sub 2} sample due to local disorder in the Se environment. Our Knight shift {sup 77}K data indicate that in all samples, uniform spin susceptibility decreases with temperature, and that the magnitude of the Knight shift itself decreases with increased S concentration. In addition, S substitution progressively suppresses low-frequency spin fluctuations. None of the samples exhibit an enhancement of low-frequency antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations near T{sub c} in 1/T{sub 1}T, as seen in FeSe.
