WHJT (93.5 FM, "93.5 The Legend) is an American radio station licensed to serve Kearney Park, Mississippi, United States. The station was owned and operated by Mississippi College until 2017. Its studios and transmitter were based on campus from the Aven Fine Arts Building.

Mississippi College sold WHJT to New South Radio in March 2017. The station's new 12,000-watt transmitter is located off Highway 49, in Pocahontas. Its new studio is located at 265 Highpoint Drive, in Ridgeland.
