KHMY, known as "My 93-1" is an FM radio station based in Hutchinson, KS, broadcasting a Hot AC/Adult Top 40 format. Licensed to Pratt, Kansas, United States, the station serves the Hutchinson/Wichita area. The station is currently owned by Eagle Communications, Inc.[1] The station has a transmitter located south of Plevna, Kansas.

History of 93.1 FM

93.1 FM officially signed on the air as KWLS-FM on Feb. 1, 1980. On April 4, 1983, the station changed its call sign to KGLS, and on January 9, 1998, to KDGB, and adopted a classic rock format, branded as "Big Dog 93.1." The station then changed to its current call letters of "KHMY" on March 17, 2003.[2]

Programming

On Christmas Day, 2002, at Noon, the station flipped to an 1980s-heavy Hot AC format, branded as "My 93-1." The first song on "My 93-1" was "Here Is Gone" by The Goo Goo Dolls. The station launched jockless, which lasted until July 7, 2003.

In 2007, KHMY moved away from its emphasis on 1980s music. Also, the slogan "The Best Variety of the 80s, 90s, and Right Now" was dropped and was replaced with "Hutchinson's #1 Hit Music Station." KHMY would continue to be a mainstream Hot AC station and a staple in the Hutchinson community over the next 6+ years.

The Eagle Media Center

In April 2007, the studios of My 93-1 moved from Halstead Road on Hutchinson's east side to the new "Eagle Media Center" in downtown Hutchinson in a building formerly housing Commerce Bank. The Eagle Media Center would also house sister stations KHUT and KWBW.

Air Staff

Darren Dunn holds down mornings on My 93-1 and is also the station's Program Director. Cyndee Campbell holds down middays, Rodney Baker is in afternoons, and Matt Stooks does evenings.
