[edit] History
KQHT began as a Top 40 station in the 1982 as "Magic 96" competing with XL93 until 1998 when it changed to an adult contemporary format branding itself as "KQ96" in 1996, and rebranded as "Mix 96.1" in 1998. In 2000, when Clear Channel bought KQHT and several other radio stations in Grand Forks, it changed its format to classic hits (a mixture of classic rock, oldies, and past pop hits) calling itself as "96.1 The Fox" with the "Classic Hits" slogan. Clear Channel also got a broadcasting contract with the University of North Dakota to broadcast Fighting Sioux basketball, hockey, and football games. Hockey and football games broadcast on KQHT while basketball games air on sister station KSNR 100.3. The slogan changed to "World Class Rock" in 2004, and leaned towards a classic rock format.
96.1 The Fox currently airs local blues music show "Riverside Blues Show", hosted by "your blues buddy" Keven Henderickson, on Sunday mornings. Riverside Blues show formerly was aired on sister station KJKJ until 2002. Kevin Henderickson also hosts the morning show with "more music, less talk".
