KQHN (97.3MHz, "Q97.3") is an Americanhot adult contemporary radio station licensed toWaskom, Texas, and serves theShreveport–Bossier City metropolitan area.
The station is owned byCumulus Media and broadcasts from theLouisiana Boardwalk shopping center inBossier City, Louisiana, along with sister stationsKRMD-FM,KMJJ, andKVMA-FM.
The station was assigned the KQHNcall letters by theFederal Communications Commission on April 7, 2005.[2]
The station was originally licensed toMagnolia, Arkansas, as KFMV on 107.9 MHz.[3]
In 2004,Cumulus Media bought the station and tried to move the station into theShreveport market, by moving the station's city of license toOil City, Louisiana. However the station's transmitter on 107.9 MHz from its new location caused interference with air traffic control atBarksdale Air Force Base and was forced off the air by the military andFederal Communications Commission (FCC). Ultimately the station's frequency was moved to 97.3 MHz and the city of license toWaskom, Texas. Although the transmitter is located in Shreveport, the city of license is for Waskom, Texas, and serves the Ark-La-Tex area. The transmitter is located near downtown Shreveport on a landmark non-supported structure nicknamed Eiffel Tower. KQHN-FM transmit facilities are co-located withKVMA-FM,KMJJ-FM, and theKRMD-FM auxiliary site on the formerKRMD tower.
When the station relocated to Shreveport and 97.3 in early 2005 under new callsign KQHN, it began testing the new signal with a stunt loop of "Swans Splashdown" byJean-Jacques Perrey. On April 7, 2005, KQHN changed its format tohot adult contemporary, branded as "Mix 97.3". The first song on Mix was "Better Days" byGoo Goo Dolls.[4]
On April 13, 2012, KQHN changed its format from hot adult contemporary totop 40 (CHR), branded as "i97.3".[5] On September 14, 2017, KQHN reverted its format from top 40 (CHR) to hot adult contemporary, branded as "Q97.3".[6]
