In March, 2017, Mississippi College sold WHJT to New South Radio. The station's new 12,000-watt transmitter is located off Highway 49, in Pocahontas. Its new studio is located at 265 Highpoint Drive, in Ridgeland.
WHJT had previously broadcast a contemporary Christian format to the Jackson, Mississippi, area from Easter Sunday 1989 until midnight on July 31, 2017.[4] On July 31, WHJT changed its format from Christian contemporary to classic country, and is now branded as 93.5 The Legend (format moved from Flinn Broadcasting-owned WJXN-FM 100.9 Utica, which began stunting).[5]
The station was assigned the call sign WHJT by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).[6]
On July 14, 2021 WHJT launched a blues format on its HD2 subchannel, branded as Blues 93.1. (Blues had moved from WIIN 780 AM Ridgeland, which flipped to rhythmic oldies.)[7]
On September 16, 2024, WHJT-HD2 dropped its blues format, and began stunting with Christmas music as Santa 93.1. (Technically, blues had returned to WIIN.)[8]
After a few hours of stunting with Christmas music, WHJT-HD2 launched an alternative rock format, branded as Rock 93.1.[9]
