About Us
Founded in 1971 and first broadcasting in 1973, KHDX-FM 93.1 is Hendrix College’s student-run radio station. We are entirely supported by student activity fees allocated by the Hendrix College Student Senate. Our mission is to provide unique programming to campus, the city of Conway, and the globe through the FM airwaves, digital streaming, and our website. We accomplish this goal by allowing students to create and broadcast content with which they are deeply connected. Our passions manifest in the form of recorded and live music, spoken word, news, sports, and educational programming. The result is a station that represents the dynamic diversity of our student body. KHDX is also a tool for learning the ropes of radio broadcasting and event production. In DJ and executive staff positions, students get a chance to engage in developing content, organizing events, and managing/participating in a volunteer-based organization that impacts the student experience on Hendrix campus.
KHDX functions as a division of the Media Committee (alongside Hendrix College’s student newspaper The Profile, literary magazine The Aonian, and yearbook The Troubadour) and is a proud founding member of the Arkansas College Radio Association.
Our Staff
Morgan Akers
Station Manager
Hi everybody! I’m Morgan Akers and I am the station manager for KHDX this year. I am a junior English Literature and Classics double major. I love dogs, plants, tattoos, the zodiac, crafting, and reading. My music taste can be described as whatever comes on my Pandora stations (I know, unpopular opinion). However, I would say my favorites include Modest Mouse, Lorde, Vampire Weekend, and George Ezra. I also hold a soft spot in my heart for classic country and can sing along to just about every song played on The Wolf. I originally got involved with KHDX freshman year with three of my best friends; sadly it’s just me Cassidy Favorite now. Tune in to our show Talking Too Much Thursday’s at 10:00 pm. I’m also starting a solo project this year that delves into short fiction and forms of storytelling as a whole, so also tune in to Gather Round at 7:00 pm on Wednesdays! And hey, thanks for listening.

Chad Hornsby
Chief Engineer
My name is Chad Hornsby, I’m a Senior religious studies major with a Classics minor. I listen to a little bit of everything from Hair Bands (Thanks Dad), to Sinatra, to Post Malone. I do a show called Hail to the Chief (Engineer) where I invite friends to come talk about their passions. I started working with KHDX because it has the unique place of letting everyone who wants to contribute to the campus through music and talking.
