KHTE-FM, whose previous formats were Rhythmic contemporary and later Urban contemporary known as "Hot 96.5", began switching directions to a 1990s-based Top 40 format in August 2009, only to adopt an Adult Top 40 direction just two weeks after the flip, and by 2011 evolved to Top 40/CHR. The move allowed them to compete more effectively with Top 40 rival KLAL for 18- to 49-year-old female listeners and to counter KLAL's rock-leaning playlist.
In January 2013, KHTE-FM dropped Top 40/CHR for News/Talk, picking up the format full time from KKSP after it went full-time with their sports format.
On March 17, 2015, it was announced that Salem Media Group, would take over operations of KHTE and KKSP through a local marketing agreement with Crain. On April 2, 2015, KHTE-FM rebranded as "96.5 The Answer", matching the names of fellow stations owned by Salem.[1]
On August 1, 2018, KHTE changed its format to urban contemporary, branded as "96.5 The Box", competing against KIPR & KPZK (now KFOG).[2]
