KHGG-FM is an all sports radio station in Fort Smith, Arkansas.

It was originally a low power frequency in Waldron, Arkansas with the call letters KRWA (K Radio Waldron Arkansas) playing country music and southern gospel. It was put on the air by Haskell Jones who owned two radio stations in DeQueen at the time. KRWA went through a number of owners. After a power upgrade by Family Communications in 2003, it received a license to broadcast with 50,000 watts of power. The signal can currently be heard in most of Western Arkansas and Eastern Oklahoma.

Pharis Broadcasting purchased the station in 2003, installing an adult contemparary format. The station was known as "Hit 103" for nearly two years. In March 2005, the station installed an all sports format utilizing Fox Sports Radio.

The station is the area's official home for Arkansas Razorbacks football, basketball, and baseball. It is also home of the Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Royals and the flagship station for Fort Smith Northside High Grizzlies. Other area colleges and high school sporting events including the UAFS Lions basketball games can be heard on the station throughout the winter.

Known as the "Sports Hog 103.1", the station broadcasts "Press Row" morning show from Fayetteville with Northwest Arkansas Morning News' Grant Hall and Vernon Tarver from 7-9 AM. A local afternoon show, "Sports In The Fort" featuring the popular local personality Jimmy "The Freak" Haas airs, followed by the statewide program Drive Time Sports with Randy Rainwater in Little Rock and Rick Schaeffer who broadcasts from Northwest Arkansas.

The station is owned and operated by Pharis Broadcasting.
