96.3 KHEY Country is KHEY-FM, a commercial country radio station licensed to El Paso, Texas and serving the wider El Paso and Borderland market. Broadcasting on 96.3 FM, the station concentrates on current country music from established stars and newer artists, alongside country music news, artist interviews, competitions and local information. KHEY-FM is owned by iHeartMedia and operates under FCC licensee iHM Licenses, LLC from studios on North Mesa in El Paso.
The current KHEY lineup mixes nationally syndicated country programmes with personalities heard across the iHeart country network. The Bobby Bones Show anchors mornings with country music, comedy, interviews and listener features.

KHEY-FM has a long connection with country radio in El Paso. The frequency originally launched as KEZB in 1974 before adopting the KHEY-FM callsign in 1981 as country programming became established on the FM service. The station later became part of Clear Channel, now iHeartMedia, and continues today as 96.3 KHEY Country. Its location also makes the station distinctive within Texas: El Paso observes Mountain Time rather than the Central Time used by most of the state, and KHEY’s signal serves the cross-border Borderland region around El Paso, southern New Mexico and Ciudad Juárez.
Notable shows & presenters are:
- Bobby Bones: Bobby Bones hosts The Bobby Bones Show, KHEY’s nationally syndicated morning programme.
