On September 14, 2018, KHKM changed its format from classic country to variety hits, branded as "Max 98.7 & 96.9". [2]

On June 14, 2022, it was announced that K245AP would drop its simulcast with KHKM and would be replaced with the "Zoo-FM" branding, which would move from KENR, as KHKM was being sold to Legacy Broadcasting and would change its format to its Today's Christian Country network. [3]

On November 1, 2024, KHKM was purchased by longtime Salt Lake City programmer "Mike Summers" Gerdes and switched its format to AAA (Adult Album Alternative) music, branded as "98.7 The Hawk". [4]

On April 28, 2025, KHKM changed their format from adult album alternative to classic hip hop, branded as "98.7 The Beat". [5]
