Station history Beginnings as "Cool" KKHH signed on the air as KHUL at 7 a.m. on October 4, 1959. KHUL carried a mostly instrumental easy listening and jazz format, and billed itself as "Cool, Refreshing Radio". KHUL was the first stand-alone FM station in the Houston radio market to operate with a 24-hour schedule. KHUL’s effective radiated power was 15,500 watts, a fraction of its current output. It was owned by Charles Temple, president, and Ken Norman, vice president, which operated the station as Nor-Temp Broadcasting. Country era In 1966, the station was bought by Leroy J. Gloger, who owned Pasadena daytime-only AM country music station KIKK. Gloger requested the station's call letters be changed to KIKK-FM, and began to simulcast the AM's country format as "KIKK 96 FM" (KIKK pronounced as "kick"). After album rock station KILT-FM flipped to country in 1981, the station saw fierce competition throughout the 1980s and early 1990s from the KILT combo. More competition came when KKBQ switched from easy country to a top 40 country approach in 1992. KIKK became KILT's sister station in late 1993, and KIKK struggled trying different variations on the format, including going from mainstream country to a more current-heavy approach in September 1994, then going head to head with KKBQ as "Young Country 95.7" by early 1997, and eventually rebranding as just "95.7 KIKK-FM" by September 2000. 95.7 The Wave At Noon on November 4, 2002, KIKK-FM flipped from its long running country format to Smooth Jazz as "95.7 The Wave", with the KHJZ call letters being adopted on November 7. Hot 95.7 On March 12, 2008, at 5:37 p.m., KHJZ began stunting with a loop of "Don't Stop" by Freestyler and "Don't Stop the Music" by Rihanna, while promoting an announcement to come at 3 p.m. the next day.
