[edit] History
The station began targeting the Memphis area in the late 1980s with an All-Blues format. In 1996 it flipped to a Mainstream Urban direction, but it wouldn't be until 1997 when it shifted to a Rhythmic Contemporary Hits direction and adopted the KXHT calls and the "HOT 107.1" moniker. Today the station focuses mostly on Hip-Hop product (they phased out most of the vocal-driven R&B hits, especially the slow songs), complete with non-stop mixes and capitalizing on the Southern Rap genre, especially the Crunk tracks.
In August 2006, R&R had moved KXHT from the Rhythmic Airplay panel to the Urban Contemporary Airplay panel, but in May 2007 R&R placed the station back on the Rhythmic panel, as their direction and playlists now reflects what is currently being played on the R&R Rhythmic chart rather than Urban.
