History

A group of local veterans returned to Marshall, Texas from World War II and took advantage of their right to first preferences of frequencies after the radio frequency freeze was lifted at the War's end. In 1961, after 14 years of operation, KMHT AM was granted FCC permission to raise the daytime power from 250 watts to 1000 watts. Shortly there after, the FCC approved the operation of 1000 Watts around the clock. This increase allowed KMHT AM to reach four times a greater area than before.

In the late 1990s, KMHT/KZEY was given to Wiley College, a private, four-year liberal arts institution affiliated with the United Methodist Church, by then owner, professional boxer George Foreman. Wiley College later sold the station, and in August 2003, Hanszen Broadcast Group, Inc., purchased KMHT/KZEY.

In the fall of 2006, KMHT 1450 AM changed format to ESPN Radio. The format also includes local sports coverage as well as the network coverage. The KMHT 103.9 FM format stayed the same.
