KMKK Kaunakakai HI sign on with Hawaiian music

[reception]

100000watts mentioned

Format Change
* N/A from cp-new on 2/8/2007

They also mentioned it broadcasts with 2,000 watts at 1,181 ft near the small town of Maunaloa. I finally got to hear it last night. I'm really surprised how well I'm getting the signal with 2,000 watts, not much power. Well I am technically close to east Honolulu and Molokai is the next island east of here.

I hope KMKK won't stick with the Hawaiian music. It's owned by Visionary Related Entertainment and they already have that format with sister station KNUQ on Maui.

And a new Hawaiian music radio station launches this week. Check out 102.3 FM on Thursday ...

He doesn't mention what island it's coming from >:(. On the positive side Thursday is March 1 and just around the corner so you know I will continue to check it out as KMKK supposedly will go into regular programming.

KMKK - A New Voice on Molokai

3/2/2007 6:50:10 PM
As one radio station was torn down another took to the air last month. KMKK 102.3 FM part of the KAOI Radio group (also known as Visionary Related Entertainment) is now broadcasting from Molokai's west end with a studio in Kaunakakai. Although KMKK has an off island owner The KAOI Radio Group is working closely with The Molokai Times and Monkeypod Records to make KMKK truly a Molokai radio station. Please give us your comments and input as we build the station together. Molokai businesses are very excited about a new advertising venue. For feedback and advertising please call The Molokai Times at 808-553-4443.

"All Hawaiian all the time." This morning I heard Augie T. who also does mornings at sister station KNUQ (Q103.7). So now it is definetely Hawaiian music as I change the topic title.
