History

[edit]

KHVL was granted its License to Cover by the Federal Communications Commission on November 1, 1938 as 1500 kHz KSAM @ 0.1 kilowatt daytime only. The facility was initially owned by the Sam Houston Broadcasting Association, H.G. Webster, President.

On April 14, 2022, KHVL changed its branding from "The Hits" to "The Lake", positioning as "More Music, More Fun" featuring a rock leaning classic hits playlist from the 1970s to the 1990s with more music from the 1990s coming.[2]
