Sharpstown district in Southwest Houston

KKHT-FM has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 100,000 watts, the highest permitted for non-grandfathered FM stations in the U.S. The transmitter is off of U.S. Route 90 in Devers, Texas.[1] With a height above average terrain (HAAT) of 595 m (1,952 ft) and a tower location about halfway between Houston and Beaumont, KKHT-FM is heard in both radio markets.

Programming

National religious leaders heard on KKHT-FM include Charles Stanley, David Jeremiah, Rick Warren, Jim Daly and Adrian Rogers. Several Houston-area ministers are also heard on KKHT-FM. National news is supplied from SRN News. The station uses a brokered programming system where hosts buy time on the schedule and may use their programs to seek donations to their ministries.

History

On December 1, 1987, the station

signed on the air at 100.9 MHz, as a Class A facility. The original call sign was KJAS, representing Jasper, Texas, its original city of license.[2] The station had a country music
format and was owned by Jasper County Broadcasting. The power was only 5,100 watts, a fraction of its current output.

In 1996, the station was sold to Tichenor Broadcasting for $3.5 million.

Univision Communications
.

In 2004, this station was traded from Univision to the

conservative talk
format as "AM 1070 KNTH", standing for News Talk Houston.
