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".
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]
