If you have never been to Hawaii, you’ll find radio is a bit different in the 50th state. In addition to the radio formats you’ll find on the US mainland, you’ll also find different formats featuring Hawaiian music. You have Contemporary Hawaiian, or as they call it, “Today’s Hawaiian Hit Music,“ on KCCN FM100. On KCCN, the Hawaiian music is in English, and the jocks speak English, but you will find it sprinkled with Hawaiian words & phrases. There is a blend of Hawaiian Reggae & Jamaican Reggae on Island 98.5 KDNN & HI 93, KQMQ. There is also KKNE AM 940, which is hybrid of traditional Hawaiian music and talk & information geared towards an adult audience of Native Hawaiian descent, with much of it in the Hawaiian language. And finally, you have one of the market’s ratings leaders with a mix of Traditional & Contemporary Hawaiian music in English & Hawaiian, on Honolulu’s 105 KINE. This aircheck features market veteran, Billy V, who spent many years at KCCN AM & FM, before going to KINE in the 2000s. Today Billy can be found on TV hosting Sunrise on KGMB-TV 9, KFVE K-Five TV, and KHNL TV. – Ellis
