History

[edit]

In January 2012, KBQQ and its oldies format moved from 106.7 FM Pinesdale, Montana to 98.7 FM Hamilton, Montana, swapping frequencies with CHR-formatted KXDR. In May 2012, KBQQ changed its call sign to KHKM and changed its format to classic country, branded as "98.7 The Hawk".

Logo as Max 98.7 & 96.9

On September 14, 2018, KHKM changed its format from classic country to variety hits, branded as "Max 98.7 & 96.9".[2]

On June 14, 2022, it was announced that K245AP would drop its simulcast with KHKM and would be replaced with the "Zoo-FM" branding, which would move from KENR, as KHKM was being sold to Legacy Broadcasting and would change its format to its Today's Christian Country network.[3]

On November 1, 2024, KHKM was purchased by longtime Salt Lake City programmer "Mike Summers" Gerdes and switched its format to AAA (Adult Album Alternative) music, branded as "98.7 The Hawk".[4]
