KHKS (106.1 FM) is a contemporary hit radio station licensed to Denton, Texas.
KHKS has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 100,000 watts, the maximum for most U.S. FM stations.
[2] In late-June 1987, the station's CHR format began slowly leaning towards hot adult contemporary, retaining its Kiss branding under the slogan "The Fresh One".
In October 1992, Gannett reached a deal with Granum Communications to move the smooth jazz format to 107.5 (now KMVK), where it remained until the fall of 2006.
[9] Gannett would sell the station to Chancellor Broadcasting in April 1997; after a subsequent series of mergers and buyouts, KHKS came under the ownership of San Antonio-based Clear Channel Communications (now iHeartMedia,) in 2000.
Since its launch, KHKS has been the flagship station of The Kidd Kraddick Morning Show, which began nationwide syndication in 2001.
From September 7–10, 2010, the station was slightly rebranded to "06.1 Kiss FM" (leaving out the first "1") as part of its $5,000 contest.
