KHHT was the call sign used by Denver’s 107.5 FM facility from August 1996 to January 1997, when it was branded “K-Hits 107.5.” This is a short-lived historical identity of the station now known as KQKS, not a separate current service.
History
The 107.5 MHz signal previously used the KWMX-FM call sign and a “Mix 107.5” format. It adopted KHHT on August 30, 1996, with a mainstream Top 40 presentation as “K-Hits 107.5.” On January 8, 1997, following Jefferson-Pilot’s acquisition of KQKS, the company moved KQKS’s rhythmic format and call letters from 104.3 FM to 107.5 FM, replacing KHHT. The station subsequently became known as KS107.5.

FROM THE TIMELINE
Moments in KHHT-FM History
KS104 moves to 107.5 and becomes KS1075
On January 8, 1997, Jefferson-Pilot moved the KQKS calls and rhythmic format from 104.3 to the stronger 107.5 FM signal and relaunched the station as KS1075. The move replaced the KHHT format on 107.5 and reshaped Denver's rhythmic-radio battle.
