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

Contact Morgan

Hi everybody! I’m Morgan Akers and this is my second year as Station Manager for KHDX. I am a senior 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. I’ve hosted a radio show with my best friend Cassidy Favorite since freshman year and we always have a grand time! Tune in to our show Talking Too Much and make sure to watch out for our annual Halloween Radio Drama (it’ll scare your socks off). And hey, thanks for listening.

Hi everyone! My name is Rachel Stewart and I am a junior psychology major with a film studies minor! I have been a DJ with KHDX since my freshman year, bringing you a little bit of everything with my show TrailMix where I play cross-genre songs according to a special theme each week. I also co-host a show discussing musicals called Stagelights. I love every type of music, classical, 2000’s pop, old country, folk, R&B and classic rock. My favorite bands are currently AJR and the Struts. I’m super excited to be Program Director this year and work with DJ’s to get their voices and ideas on air. As always, thanks for listening!
