Khom (Thai: ขอม, pronounced [kʰɔ̌ːm]) is a Thai- and Lao-language term referring to the people and civilization of the ancient Khmer Empire. Its use is recorded as early as the 12th century, though its exact meaning—whether it refers to a specific empire, a certain historical period, or the Khmer people in general—has been unclear throughout history.
The term has been used extensively in 20th-century Thai historiography, partly as a way to disassociate the historical Angkorian civilization—of which many archaeological sites are spread throughout present-day Thailand—from the present-day Khmer people who form the majority population of Cambodia, whom many Thais still believe to be an inferior race unrelated to the people of the ancient empire. This discourse was popularized by 20th-century Thai nationalist thinker Luang Wichitwathakan who asserted that contemporary Khmers are unrelated to the ethnic group responsible for the Angkorian civilization, coining the term "khom" for this purpose. By repurposing the term "khom" derived from the ancient Thai term "Khmer Krom" meaning "lowland Khmer", Wichitwathakan attempted to create a new ethnicity to accentuate a distinct separation between Angkor and Cambodia, despite the ethnic continuity between Angkor's builders and present-day Khmer being well-established.
This is a commonly leveraged theme for anti-Khmer sentiment and historical negationism in Thai nationalist discourse.




Etymology


In Thai, the term khom has its roots in the Dvaravati Old Mon and Nyah Kur term *krɔɔm meaning "under, below, beneath [prep.]; the under part of (sth.) (especially house) [noun]." The vowel sequence also derived as a variant form: *krɔɔm → *kǝrɔɔm, *kǝnrɔɔm in the Austroasiatic languages then later diversified to other language families as follows:

Austroasiatic languages
Mon: *krom ← *krɔɔm
Khmer: krom ← karoṃ, karom (Angkorian) ← karoṃ, karom, karomm (pre-Angkorian) ← *kǝrɔɔm, *kǝnrɔɔm, *krɔɔm (Mon).
Hmong–Mien languages
Hmongic: *gom ← *[kom]kom ← *krom (Mon) ← *krɔɔm.
Kra–Dai languages
Proto-Kra–Dai and Hlai: *kom, kom ← *krom (Mon) ← *krɔɔm.
Proto-Tai: gom ← *krom (Mon) ← *krɔɔm.
Northern Thai and Lao: khom ← *krom (Mon) ← *krɔɔm. (Note: the term khom, sometimes used to refer to the Khmer period in Siam, not so much for the Khmer of Camboja proper, as for the Mon-Khmer people of Lower Siam—lower Chao Phraya River Basin proper from about 1000 CE to the latter half of the 13th century CE, which was subject to the Angkor empire.)
Tibeto-Burman languages
Burmese: gywans ← kywam, kurwaṁ ← krwaṁ, krwam (Old Burmese) ← *krom (Mon) ← *krɔɔm. (Note: the terms krwaṁ, krwam used to refer to the Cambojan and the term gywans used to refer to the Siam.)

KHOM (100.9 FM) is an American radio station licensed to serve Salem, the county seat of Fulton County, Arkansas. As of July 31, 2013, the station is owned by E-Communications, LLC.




Programming


KHOM broadcasts a classic hits format to the greater West Plains, Missouri, area. Until the 2011 sale, this station had aired a country music format of some sort since its establishment in 1977, most recently the "Real Country" format from Cumulus Media Networks branded as "K-Home 100.9". From the 2011 sale until July 31, 2013, the station aired a sports radio format provided by ESPN.




History


The station, then known by the call sign "KSAR", began regular broadcast operations in September 1977. Owned and operated by the Salem Broadcasting Company (with Ronald E. Plumee as company owner and president), KSAR originally broadcast a contemporary country music format with 2,500 watts of effective radiated power on a frequency of 95.9 MHz.
In May 1983, Salem Broadcasting reached an agreement to sell KSAR to Mountain Home Broadcasting Corporation. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved the deal on June 30, 1983, and the transaction was formally consummated on August 9, 1983. The new owners continued the station's contemporary country format.
Mountain Home Broadcasting Corporation agreed to sell KSAR to James & Ruth Bragg, doing business as Salem Broadcasting, in October 1987. The FCC approved the sale on December 4, 1987, and the transaction was formally consummated on December 16, 1987. The next month, James & Ruth Bragg applied to the FCC to transfer the station's broadcast license to a new corporation they owned, Bragg Broadcasting Incorporated. The FCC approved the transfer on January 28, 1988, and the formal consummation was filed on February 18, 1988. The Braggs maintained the country format but with a full service lean, adding daily farm programming and at least 20 hours of news and information programming per week.
In April 1997, KSAR applied to the FCC to switch broadcast frequencies from 95.9 to 100.9 MHz and upgrade its licensed facilities from broadcast class A to class C2. This shift would allow the station to increase its effective radiated power from 2,500 watts to 50,000 watts, greatly increasing its coverage area. The FCC granted a construction permit to make the necessary changes on August 7, 1997, with a scheduled expiration of December 21, 2000. With construction and testing completed in September 2000, the station applied for a new broadcast license to cover these changes. The FCC granted the new license to operate on the new frequency at the higher power on March 8, 2001.
In October 1999, Bragg Broadcasting Inc. filed an application to transfer KSAR to the Mountain Lakes Broadcasting Corporation. The FCC approved the transfer on December 14, 1999, and the move was formally consummated on March 1, 2000. The next day, the new licensee had the FCC change the station's call sign to "KHOM".
Along with sister station KBMV-FM (107.1 FM in Birch Tree, Missouri), Mountain Lakes Broadcasting Corporation contracted to sell KHOM to Three Rivers Communications, LLC, in July 2008 for a combined sale price of $814,000. The FCC approved the sale on August 18, 2008, and the transaction was formally consummated on September 3, 2008. At the time of the sale, Three Rivers Communications was owned 50% by managing partner Paul Coates and his wife, Elizabeth, and 50% by former Kansas City Royals play-by-play announcer Fred White and his wife, Barbara. In May 2010, the Whites took full ownership of Three Rivers Communications in settlement of financial issues with Paul Coates.
On August 1, 2011, Three Rivers Communications agreed to sell KHOM and KBMV-FM to Diamond Media, LLC, for a reported combined sale price of $965,000. The FCC approved the deal on September 12, 2011. Diamond Media operated KHOM with a sports radio format and KBMV as a news talk format.
On July 31, 2013, E-Communications, LLC assumed ownership of KHOM and KBMV-FM for a purchase price of $550,000, and has branded the station as "KHOM The Train", playing a classic hits format. E-Communications, LLC also owns sister stations KAMS and KALM.
