01History
KHUT's predecessor, KWBW-FM was the first commercial FM station in central Kansas. A sister station to KWBW, KWBW-FM began broadcasting June 15, 1947 at 95.7 MHz. The stations were owned by William Wyse.
A new KWBW-FM at 102.9 MHz went on the air in 1972, and played country music until 1978. After a short-lived switch to a beautiful music format, the station changed call letters to KHUT and returned to country music in 1979. Owned originally by Nation's Center Broadcasting, the founding company of KWBW, KHUT was purchased by Beach-Schmidt Communications in 1989. Beach-Schmidt is now employee owned Eagle Communications headquartered in Hays, Kansas.
