WKHM-FM (105.3 MHz "K105.3") is a hot adult contemporary radio station licensed to Brooklyn, Michigan, United States, serving the Jackson area.
History
The WKHM callsign has a long Jackson tradition and is based on the names of the original owners of WKHM AM (Fred Knorr, Harvey Hansen, and Bill McCoy). The first WKHM-FM operated on 106.1 and is now WJXQ.
The current WKHM-FM signed on in 1995 and originally programmed easy listening music, one of the last stations in Michigan to program such a format. "Easy Relaxed 105.3" played a mixture of adult contemporary hits, soft oldies, and smooth jazz. The "easy" format was dropped in early 1998 (moving to sister WIBM 1450 AM for a short time until that station went sports) and K105.3 was born.
FM translator
The WKHM-FM HD2 signal is relayed by an FM translator.
