Hawaii Public Radio, HPR for short, is a network of four non-commercial, listener-supported stations serving the state of Hawaii. The stations originate from the studios of The Hawaii Public Radio Plaza, located at 738 Kaheka Street, near the Ala Moana Shopping Center in Honolulu.
History/programming
Hawaii Public Radio is the Hawaii affiliate of NPR. 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 full-power stations in the lineup, KKUA in Wailuku and KANO in Hilo, serve as repeaters for KHPR. There are also two low-power translator stations that fill in gaps in coverage:
- K203EL at 88.5 MHz, serving Haleiwa and Schofield Barracks
- K234AN at 94.7 MHz, serving Waimea on the Big Island
KIPO (which signed on the air on September 15, 1989) offers a News/Talk/Information/World Music and Jazz format. Until September 2008, the signal of KIPO only covered the south shore of Oahu because its transmitter was limited to 3,000 watts to avoid interference with FCC and FAA monitoring stations in Pearl City. A new 26,000 watt transmitter for KIPO went on the air on September 20, 2008, enabling the signal of KIPO to reach all areas of Oahu. Plans are in the works to expand the KIPO program stream to the other islands as well.[1]
