If I recall correctly, KONI-FM on Maui started off with an AC format when Ivan Dixon put it on the air around 1993. I believe it switched to oldies when George Hochman purchased it in 2002.
Very interesting, Mel. This was before the huge consolidation tsunami hit the islands. I don't think Capstar purchased KSSK until 1997. After that, the big guys started gobbling up everyone in...
Very sad about Lyle's passing. I always enjoyed his work. Lyle had a very natural presence on-air and appeared comfortable before the camera. I talked with him in person a couple of times and he...
They should be able to sell plenty of commercials and/or programs to advertisers trying to reach an underserved audience. I think they'll do just fine.
This is how I understand out of state plates work in Hawaii. This might be old information, but it's how it was not long ago when a friend shipped over a vehicle.
You may operate a vehicle...
Ah, the old TV network Friday Night move. A surefire way to kill off a show.
No one enjoys the standards more than I do. But, when it comes to broadcast radio, that train has left the station. And I have some programming experience, so I feel I can speak about this...
Summit Media closed on the Cox deal on Friday. Summit picks up the Cox stations in Honolulu, as well as Birmingham, AL; Greenville, SC; Louisville; and Richmond...23 stations in all.
Summit is...
The Hawaii Senate has set aside a bill that would have required labeling of imported GMO food. An interesting exercise would be to go to this link and check out the Monsanto contributions between...
Summit Media is a partnership between former Heftel executive Carl Parmer and Cox Birmingham Market Manager David Dubose. Parmer and Dubose owned WBHK and WBHJ in Birmingham before they were sold to...
Tutusue...God bless you! Even though you lost a format you enjoyed, you congratulated a group for getting one that they will enjoy. How refreshing it is to see a comment that isn't the message...
I am, too.
I believe the current bill before the Hawaii legislature closely mirrors California law on the issue.
While it's difficult for streaming audio and video to approach the quality levels achieved by conventional delivery systems, I think we'll see that change in the not so distant future. And even with...
"Chevy Van" is one of those songs that I completely put out of my mind. When it reached Top 5 on the charts, I had to play it at least twice every night on the Norfolk radio station where I was on...
Whachu talkin' 'bout Walkoff?
Two guys in New Jersey are suing Subway for foot-long sandwiches that measure less than 12 inches:

I was disappointed that Alec Baldwin became a spokesperson for Capital One because of their predatory practices, however, it appears that he has been turning over his earnings on these spots to...
That makes a lot of sense. A major earthquake on the Big Island could generate a large tsunami that would reach Maui and Oahu in a matter of minutes, not hours.
Smart kid!
I love voting in Hana. No problems. We were in and out in five minutes...and then off to our friends' lunch wagon "Braddah Hutts" for ribs. Great day...and almost everyone I voted for won!
More and more, people are using "amount" when they should be using "number." This past weekend, I heard a sports announcer say, "The amount of people in attendance at today's game was...."
And...
You're so right!
Even 20+ years after arriving here from New York City, I can honestly say that my worst day here is still better than my best day there.
Hana vs. Manhattan? No contest.
I believe the Union City in which she lived was in Indiana.
"Popsicles and Icicles" was a Top 3 hit by the Los Angeles female group "The Murmaids" in the Winter of 1963-1964, reaching Number One on a number of national charts. The group was comprised of two...
Haleloke was from Hilo. I think she was appearing on Hawaii Calls when Arthur Godfrey hired her. Like Julius LaRosa, Haleloke was dismissed for no reason. She was replaced by Japanese singer...
