History [link]

The station began life in 1985 as KLZC, later becoming 1985, until being KQHT in 1986. KQHT began as a Top 40 station in 1986 as "Magic 96" competing with XL93 until 1998 when it changed to an adult contemporary format branding itself as "KQ96" in 1996, and rebranded as "Mix 96.1" in 1998. During that early 1990s battle with KKXL, there were personalities like Magic Mark & Paul Braun, Josh Jones, Shelley Carr, "Smilin'" Wade Williams, "Jammin" Jay Murphy, Denny "Crash" Shields, Michael Knight (Mike Cruise), Pat Ebertz, Bobby Brady, Minimum Wage Mike, Harry Callahan, Kim Cooley, Jack Hammer, Nick Logan, and many others.

In 2000, Clear Channel bought KQHT and several other radio stations in Grand Forks, and KQHT changed its format to classic hits (a mixture of classic rock and oldies music formats) calling itself as "96.1 The Fox". Clear Channel also got a broadcasting contract with the University of North Dakota to broadcast Fighting Sioux basketball, hockey, and football games. Hockey and football games broadcast on KQHT while basketball games air on sister station KSNR 100.3. The slogan changed from "Classic Hits" to "World Class Rock" in 2004, and evolved towards a broad-based classic rock format. The station began leaning towards an oldies format after KSNR flipped from oldies to country in 2005. When competitor KNOX-FM flipped from classic country to classic rock in 2007, The Fox shifted back to a classic rock format. KQHT tweaked back to classic hits in 2010 after KNOX-FM flipped from classic rock to Top 40 (CHR) to compete with sister station KKXL-FM "XL93".

Used To Love

by: Keke Wyatt

Wo oh oh
wo oh oh, wo oh oh oh
wo oh
Now baby I been thinking bout how you been acting strange
and baby I been thinking how so many things have changed
in my life, in my home, in my bed
said I remember how you used to love
How you used to love, you don't love no more
how you used to care, you don't care no more
that's alright, that's ok
drop the key on your way
catch a bus, ride the train
it doesn't matter just keep going
Now boy I can remember how I used to foot the bill
and yes I do regret the day I took your broke ass in
to my life, to my home, to my bed
said that I must have lost my head
I guess you thought that I'd let you walk on me like the floor
I gues you thought that you'd keep tracking dirt inside my door
you got it all wrong
it's been too long
all of the love is gone
now I'm singing you this song
How you used to love, you don't love no more
how you used to care, you don't care no more
that's alright, that's ok
drop the key on your way
grab a bus, ride the train
it doesn't matter just keep going
How you used to love, you don't love no more
how you used to care, you don't care no more
that's alright, that's ok
drop the keys on your way
grab a bus, ride the train
it doesn't matter just keep going
You must have thought that you were getting over for so long
but I was giving you the chance to make things right from being so wrong
but your time is up, took too long, I don't wanna hear it
get your shirt, shoes, pants and draws up from outta here
Oh oh oh oh
wo oh ooh wo
woo woo oh
Like you used to love, you don't love no more
how you used to care, you don't care no more
that's alright, that's ok
drop the keys on your way
grab a bus, ride the train
it doesn't matter just keep going
How you used to love, you don't love no more
how you used to care, you don't care no more
that's alright, that's ok
drop the keys on your way
grab a bus, ride the train
it doesn't matter just keep going
Oh oh oh
