History of WHJT

Star 93.5 History


Mississippi College Online @ MC.edu

In 1972 Dr. Hollis B. Todd and his wife Dr. Julia M. Todd had a vision for Mississippi College. They worked with the administration and bought a frequency, 93.5. WHJT (W because we are East of the Mississippi River and the HJT is Hollis & Julia Todd) became a learning tool for students at Mississippi College. When the station first went on the air as Alive 93.5, there really was no format. But with the vision of Dr. Billy Lytal in 1999 WHJT picked up the CHR format from satellite provider, CHRSN. Most programming is now local, but weekends and overnight broadcast still rely on CHRSN.

Over the years WHJT has turned into what Dr. and Mrs. Todd dreamed it would be. A great place to teach students the power of radio. WHJT has won many awards from MAB as well as a recent station of the month award from Preimer Radio Group. Our students leave with great paying jobs and are very competitve in their fields.

WHJT is devoted to providing family safe programming for the Central Mississippi area. Mississippi College and WHJT join forces to spread the word of Jesus to the people in our community. "We are very grateful to the the Todd's for their vision. We strive to make them proud and bring glory to God everyday."


 

STAR93FM.com History


STAR93FM.com

In February 2000, Scott Albritton with the backing of station manager Matt Rumfelt and communication department director Dr. Billy Lytal developed the first front page of STAR93FM.com. Though streaming radio was available on the website for the first few years, changes to FCC regulations required Star 93.5 drop the online stream due to legal reasons.
