History
Early years
KINE-FM signed on the air in November 1988; 35 years ago (1988-11).[4] It was owned by RLS Radio with studios on Bishop Street. It started with a classic hits format, which changed to classic rock by the early 1990s.
It switched to a Traditional Hawaiian Adult Contemporary format in February 1992, to compete against Hawaiian Top 40 100.3 KCCN-FM. KINE-FM was later purchased by then KCCN-FM owner B.J. Glascock and the two became sister stations in 1993. KCCN-FM aims at younger Hawaiian listeners while KINE-FM aims a bit older.
KINE target 25-54 listeners of Hawaiian descent, done in an adult-appeal presentation. It plays Hawaiian songs from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. This direction distinguishes KINE-FM from co-owned KCCN-FM, which plays more youthful Top 40/CHR-style Hawaiian music. For many years, KINE-FM was co-owned with KKNE 940 AM, which aimed at 35-64 listeners and played older Traditional Hawaiian hits. KKNE went silent in December 2022.
Changes in ownership
In 2000, KINE-FM was acquired by Cox Media, Inc.[5] Cox is based in Atlanta and owns radio and television stations, cable systems and newspapers.
On July 20, 2012, Cox Radio announced the sale of KINE-FM and 22 other stations. They were being sold to Summit Media LLC for $66.25 million. The sale was consummated on May 3, 2013.[6][7]
