Contents

Although classified as a commercial radio station by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Faith Broadcasting acts as a nonprofit organization using commercial advertisements for funding, though it also takes donations.

History

KHRT first went on the air in 1958 as KQDY in Minot, licensed to Dakota Broadcasters on 1320 kHz, with 1 kilowatt, daytime only. The callsign was changed to KHRT in 1964.

Expanded Band assignment

On March 17, 1997, the FCC announced that 88 stations had been given permission to move to newly available "Expanded Band" transmitting frequencies, ranging from 1610 to 1700 kHz, with KHRT authorized to move from 1320 to 1620 kHz. [1] However, the construction permit needed to implement the authorization was cancelled on December 22, 2000, [2] so the expanded band assignment was never built.
