Michael Landis has flipped his recently acquired “My Country 101.7” KHST Lamar KS/Joplin MO to Oldies.
The jockless station is focusing on music from the 1960s and 70s, with some 50s. Operations Manager Kevin Welch told the Greenfield Vedette, “You could kind of say that our target audience is the old Hippies in the area. We want to give them the hits as well as some of the more obscure songs from the era: we have over 3,500 songs in our library.” KHST is also carrying Kansas City Royals baseball and Kansas City Chiefs football.
Landis acquired KHST last year in exchange for 1340 KSEK/107.9 K300DE Pittsburg KS. He also owns “Somo Sports Radio” 1560 WMBH/101.7 K267BY Joplin
