This station received its original
construction permit from the
Federal Communications Commission on March 25,
1996. The new station was assigned the call letters KQHC by the FCC on May 10, 1996. KQHC received its
license to cover from the FCC on February 10, 1998. As part of a personal financial reorganization, KQHC owner Stanley M. Swol filed an application with the FCC in October 2003 to transfer the
broadcast license for KQHC to SS Radio, LLC, a new
limited liability company wholly owned by Stanley M. Swol. The license transfer was approved by the FCC on November 10, 2003, and the transaction was consummated on same day. One year later, in November 2004, Swol's SS Radio, LLC, reached an agreement to sell this station and AM
sister station KZZR to Leslie Ann Carson's Action Radio, LLC, for a reported cash sale price of $72,500. The deal was approved by the FCC on March 11, 2005, and the transaction was consummated on April 18, 2005. At the time of the sale, KZZR broadcast a country music format. In May 2010, B&H Radio, Inc, agreed to sell both KZZR and KQHC to Harney County Radio, LLC for a reported $245,000. Harney County Radio, LLC was wholly owned by Joan M. & Leighton M. Reed-Nickerson, who also owned
KORV (93.5) Lakeview, OR through Lake County Radio, LLC. The new owners had the FCC change the station's call sign to KORC-FM on July 16, 2010. On August 7, 2020, the station changed its call sign to KZHC-FM. Effective October 1, 2020, KZHC-FM, sister station KZHC and translator K256DC were sold to KJDY, LLC for $60,000. ==References==
