History
On March 15, 1971, the station
In 1986, the station was acquired by Sterling Radio and a
CLG Media of Denver purchased KHIH in 1993. A few months later, Salem Communications (later known as the Salem Media Group) purchased KHIH from CLG for $5 million, with the sale closing that December.[5] Salem mostly operates Christian stations, so it dropped the Smooth Jazz format on October 25, 1993, for its current Christian Talk/Teaching format (the smooth jazz format would move to KHOW-FM and pick up the KHIH calls).[6]
In the early 2010s, the station switched its city of license from Boulder to Lafayette, putting it a bit closer to Denver, although the transmitter remains northwest of Boulder, where it had been. The station was rebranded as "94.7 FM The Word" in January 2017.
