History
[edit]The station was assigned the call sign KSAM by the Federal Communications Commission on November 16, 2005.[3] This callsign had been assigned to an AM radio station in Huntsville, Texas, for nearly 80 years, now known as KHVL. The FM counterpart continues to reside in Huntsville since 1965, as KSAM-FM.[4]
Since 2017, KSAM's AM broadcasts are simulcast on 102.7 FM over translator K274CY.[citation needed]
The call sign was changed to KHNK on February 17, 2025; the previous KHNK became KBCK.[5]
