[edit] History

This frequency was once home to KOHO, which was at 1170, up until its sign-off in 2002, when its changed calls to KENT. In 2005 Salem bought the signal back on the air as KHCM and adopted a Country music format. In 2006 it moved to the 1180 frequency, followed by a swap with KORL's owners for the 690 signal.
