[edit] History

KHTT was originally KMMM, and it was also known as "K-Triple M" (the three Ms in its call letters, which also stood for "Muskogee's Music Machine") or as "K-107." It targeted only Muskogee and the surrounding areas at the time. Very little format history is known for KMMM; one of the formats known for the station is Urban Contemporary. The station mixed in a few Top 40 songs during the daytime and aired a straight ahead Urban presentation by evenings. By 1982 KMMM went dark.

In 1982, the station signed back on the air with an upgrade in its signal now allowing it to target Tulsa. It changed its format to Top 40 and became known as KAYI ("KAY-107"). In the early 90s, KAYI evolved in a Adult Top 40 direction, but the change did not bring success. In 1993, the station changed its call letters to KHTT and its slogan to "K-HITS." It remained an adult-leaning Top 40 station for a few more years. Then in the summer of 1996, "K-HITS" shifted to a more mainstream Top 40 format, which it has since used with success.
