KJDS (101.9 FM) is a Christian radio station in Hot Springs, Arkansas. It broadcasts with an ERP of 3.1 kW (3,100 watts) from its broadcast tower on Pearcy Road, southwest of Hot Springs in Garland County, Arkansas.
The station was owned and operated by US Stations, LLC, a local company that also owns KZNG, KBHS, KLXQ, KQUS & KLAZ in Hot Springs, Arkansas and KLBL in Malvern, Arkansas.
The station features a beep, the station's signature sound, made to sound like that of a NASA transmission from the early days of space travel.
History
On December 7, 2016, KLXQ was sold from US Stations, LLC to Central Arkansas Radio Group, LLC and changed their format from classic rock branded as "101.9 The Rocket" to classic hits. "The Rocket" branding was moved to 96.7 Hot Springs and became known as "96.7 The Rocket".[1]
On December 14, 2016, KLXQ changed their call letters to KHRK.
On February 24, 2017, KHRK changed their format from classic hits to a simulcast of KHCB 105.7 Houston, Texas, as a result of a sale from Central Arkansas Radio Group, LLC to Houston Christian Broadcasters.[2]
On March 7, 2017, KHRK changed their call letters to KHHS.
Studio location
The US Stations broadcast studio is in the former KVTH-TV Channel 26 building near the Hot Springs Mall. The previous KLXQ studio was in the upstairs part of the television studio, but has since moved to a new addition built in late 2006.
The former KHRK-FM previously shared a building with sister stations KQUS, KLXQ, and KZNG.
