KHBC AM 1060 simulcasting on KHWI FM 92.7?

[IBadget]

I was listening to Hilo's KHBC AM 1060 all night long and hearing every hour on the hour (top-of-the-hour station ID) that KHBC is "now on 92.7 KHWI, Hilo, Hawaii." I don't live in Hilo, so I can't confirm that KHBC is really simulcasting on KHWI. I was also thinking, "Wait a minute. Isn't KHWI FM 92.7 in Hilo and KHWA FM 92.1 in Kona supposed to sign on simultaneously after the KHWA transmitter is built and ready to fire up?" It makes me wonder if the owner of KHBC also owns KHWI and KHWA. Can anyone confirm if KHBC is really being simulcast on KHWI and the owners of KHBC, KHWI, and KHWA? Mahalo nui loa.

I don't know if these stations went under an ownership change or if the owners of KHBC are just operating the FM for the absentee owner in Idaho:

Big Island broadcasters brace for storm mentions that KHBC AM 1060 has been simulcasting on KHWI FM 92.7 since Thursday, August 9. Hilo Broadcasting LLC and Parrott Broadcasting LP are working together to make the simulcast permanent.

Besides simulcasting with KHWI FM, now Buddy Gordon has decided to sell KHBC AM to Parrott Broadcasting, owners of KHWI FM.
