KKHT-FM (100.7 FM, "100.7 The Word") is a Christian talk and teaching radio station in Houston, Texas, but licensed to Lumberton, Texas and previously licensed to Winnie, Texas & Jasper, Texas, United States. The station is currently owned by Salem Media of Illinois, LLC and features programming from the Salem Media Group. Studios are in the Sharpstown district in Southwest Houston and the transmitter is in Devers, Texas.

Programming consists of Christian teaching and instruction with such hosts as Charles Stanley, David Jeremiah, and Kay Arthur. There is also an afternoon talk show called Drive Time Houston.

KKHT signed on the air at 100.9 FM in Jasper, Texas, as a Class A facility with 3 kilowatts of power, and an elevation of 42 meters, in 1988.

In 2004, this station was traded from Univision Communications to Salem in a deal involving six other stations in five U.S. cities (see the WPPN page for details). At the time of sale, 100.7 played Spanish-language music as KOBT "Orbita 100-7". Once Salem acquired the facility, "The Word" programming, that was featured on co-owned 1070 KNTH, was moved to this facility and renamed "100.7 The Word". Concurrently, KNTH launched a new news talk format as "AM 1070 KNTH", standing for News Talk Houston.
