Then we tuned in Sunday, and heard a strange mix of what sounded like Broadway showtunes. I hadn't listened since, but you're right, it's gone, and it's a shame. It was a great station, and a default spot on the dial for me, too - especially, frankly, if I wanted something Hawaiian yet generally unintrusive. A friend said it reminded her of the stuff they play over the loudspeakers at the Honolulu International Airport, but of course it was better than that. A few years ago, folks were lamenting the lack of country music options in Hawaii. Now, I guess, it's officially in a recovery.

I was shocked on my Sunday morning drive to hear the ABBA remakes. I'm not sure what they are playing now but they have lost me as a listener. Does anyone think that their change in format will improve their ratings? I don't think so. They had a superior format to KINE and KCCN if you don't want to listen to the "Jawaiian" stuff. I wish I could catch web radio in the car. radioparadise.com is my station of choice or any member of shoutcast.com. It looks like I'll be listening to more KTUH also. Hawaii's true alternative to the bland radio stations. Good thing Saturday and Sunday mornings on KKEA has old school Hawaiian music. aloha john shop @ www.hawaiiclothingcompany.com From ???@???

Willy K is always giving us surprises and someday, I guess some of his music will have a place. I think 99.5FM was as Hawaiian in musical style as most music has ever been played. A lot of music like the lovely Paoakalani song by Liliuokalani was composed ears ago and performed with the more jazzy style of these modern times, but still quite close to the original Victorian art song. They also played a lot of hapa-haole stuff from the 30's and 40's, but all stuff well established in the repetoire of Hawaiian music. I may have missed some stuff, but most of the music played on the staion was NOT of the edgy music and styles even within the last 10 years. --alvin From ???@???

This is sad...so many folks bemoan "the loss of Hawaiian music in Hawai`i", yet the advertisers don't support the commercial stations which try to stay focused on traditional Hawaiian music. "The Breeze" was _such_ a good idea; so sorry to hear it's gone off-air Kaua`i Community Radio -- the only "community radio"station in the state of Hawai`i -- broadcasts Hawaiian music from midnight until 11a.m., Monday through Friday. Live DJs are on-air 7a.m.-11a.m.; before that, it's a 10-pack "cart" playing. http://www.kkcr.org And heads up O`ahu -- KKCR has received FCC approval for a "translator" in Haleiwa (a manini 10 watt repeater), that will widen the listening audience to include Haleiwa and the north shore, stretching down to Pearl City.
