HPR's KHPR signed on the air in Honolulu on November 13, 1981, and is the flagship station of the network, airing a diversified lineup of fine arts, classical music and cultural programming. The two other stations in the lineup, KKUA in Wailuku and KANO in Hilo, serve as repeaters for KHPR. KIPO (whose sign-on was in 1989) offers a News/Talk/Information/World Musics and Jazz format.
