KHBZ (102.9 FM, "New Country 102.9") is a radio station broadcasting a country music format.[1] Licensed to Harrison, Arkansas, United States, the station is currently owned by Paul Coates and Mike Huckabee, through licensee Ozark Mountain Media Group, LLC.[2]
The station launched on March 29, 1963 under the call sign KHOZ-FM. Throughout much of the 1970s and 1980s, the station ran an adult contemporary music format. In 1989, the station upgraded its format to Top 40/CHR under the call sign KWNQ and branding "WINK FM". Unfortunately, it was short-lived, and in 1990, the station dropped CHR and flipped to its current country format, which also brought back its KHOZ-FM call letters.
