KHOT
On October, 10 1997, the format was changed to Urban Adult Contemporary with a call letter change to complement their new branding as "Hot 105.9". Then later moved to a Rhythmic Oldies direction.
In 1999, KHOT was sold to Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation and flipped to its current format. The 105.3 frequency was added in 2001 creating a simulcast.
KHOT's signature program is Piolín Por La Mañana ("Tweety in the Morning"), hosted by Eddie "Piolín" Sotelo, originating from Los Angeles-based sister station KSCA, a popular show among Spanish-speaking Hispanics in Phoenix.[citation needed] Another part of KHOT programing is The PM drive El Show Del Gatillero Del La Tarde.
