KHSH interesting christian format

Yep that is Channel 93.3. I think you got the wrong call letters.

No, Channel 93.3 is KHTS-FM and someone above said something about KHTS 1220 in Santa Clarita and they are surprised no top 40 ever grabed those calls.

well.. they did

KHTS (AM) was owned by Clear Channel/iHeartRadio for a time and had a few formats, including a short stint simulcasting KIIS-FM. iHeart also owns KHTS-FM so when they were sold back to the original owners somehow there was a deal made to use the KHTS calls on both stations. There are some similar situations that exist (that involve iHeartRadio) such as KPRC, Houston, owned by iHeart, KPRC-FM in Salinas, CA, also owned by iHeart, and KPRC-TV, in Houston, that is owned by a different company. Also KION-TV in the Monterey market was owned at one time by Clear Channel, but is now owned by NPG. KION (AM) in the same market is still owned by iHeartRadio. I know there are some other instance (I want to say WSM in Nashville) where same call letters exist on completely unconnected stations today.

Also, before anyone flames me, I completely understand that KHTS and KHTS-FM are technically different call letters, but when I was younger, the AM, FM and TV stations were generally connected to the same owner and were in the same market. Things got a little weirder when stations like KCBS, KCBS-FM and KCBS-TV (all owned by the same company) started moving in to different markets.

The original callsign of 1220 in Canyon Country was KBET: "The Beat of Santa Clarita". The station is now KHTS, :"Your Home Town Station" and for quite some time has been simulcast on their FM translator at 98.1. (100w at about 1500 ft}

I forgot to mention that 98.1 is broadcasting in Mono. (Don't know whether KHTS 1220's board/console is Stereo capable or not.)
