https://radioinsight.com/wp-content/images/2022/06/997hankfm-200x200.pngSteckline Communications flipped its recently acquired 99.7 KHLT-FM Belle Plaine/Wichita KS to Classic Country “99.7 Hank-FM” on Wednesday.
Steckline agreed to acquire (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/222368/steckline-expands-in-wichita-with-khlt-purchase/) KHLT-FM from La Raza LLC for $1.4 million in March. The move triggered a domino effect of format shifts with the Regional Mexican “La Raza (http://laraza997.com)” brand that had been on KHLT-FM moving to 102.5 K273CX Wichta/KHLT-HD2. The translator had been rebroadcasting Conservative Talk 1480 KQAM (http://stecklinecommunications.com), which now is heard just on the AM.
The move also brings the “Hank-FM” Classic Country format and branding back to Wichita. It was previously utilized on 100.5 KVWF from 2015 (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/95318/wichitas-wolf-gives-way-to-classic-country-hank-fm/) to 2017 (https://radioinsight.com/headlines/121505/hank-packs-leaves-wichita/).
