KHTE-FM (96.5 MHz) is a commercial mainstream urban radio station broadcasting from Little Rock, Arkansas, United States (licensed to England). KHTE-FM is currently branded as "96.5 The Box". The station's studios are located in West Little Rock, and the transmitter tower is in Redfield, Arkansas.
KHTE-FM, whose previous formats were Rhythmic contemporary and later Urban contemporary known as "Hot 96.5", began switching directions to a 1990s-based Top 40 format in August 2009, only to adopt an Adult Top 40 direction just two weeks after the flip, and by 2011 evolved to Top 40/CHR. The move allowed them to compete more effectively with Top 40 rival KLAL for 18- to 49-year-old female listeners and to counter KLAL's rock-leaning playlist.
In January 2013, KHTE-FM dropped Top 40/CHR for News/Talk, picking up the format full time from KKSP after it went full-time with their sports format.
