KHUT (102.9 FM, "Country 102.9") is a commercial radio station licensed to Hutchinson, Kansas, United States, and serves the Wichita metropolitan area. Owned by Eagle Communications, Inc., it broadcasts a country music format.

KHUT has been broadcasting since 1972, with a transmitter sited on Whiteside Road at West Clark Road in Hutchinson.

KHUT's predecessor, KWBW-AM was the first commercial AM station in central Kansas. A sister station to KHMY-FM and KHUTY-FM, KWBW-AM began broadcasting June 15, 1947 at 1450. MHz. KWBW-FM began broadcasting at 98.5 in 2013. The stations were owned by William Wyse.

On the air originally as KWBW-FM, the station played country music from 1972 to 1978. After a short-lived switch to a Beautiful Music format, the station changed call letters to KHUT and returned to Country music in 1979. Owned originally by Nation's Center Broadcasting, the founding company of sister station KWBW, KHUT was purchased by Beach-Schmidt Communications in 1989. Beach-Schmidt is now employee owned Eagle Communications headquartered in Hays, Kansas.
