Same equipment and same amount of help that one would get from the main office. Once recorded then all the stuff goes to Mamunapuna anyway. So if it is easier - just work out of the satellite offices. usually a staff member is there that knows what they are doing - but just in case - or if they close - call ahead- my only suggestion.

If you don't know anything about "socialism", and the benefits it would see here especially on island, please do your research! Locals and Kanaka of Hawaii would be so thankful for universal healthcare, preschools for all children, affordable homes, rent freezes, all of which Zorhan Mamdani has fought for. He is fighting for the working class, taxing the rich and helping the people. All of which is needed here for the people. With these two bozo's you are doing yourself disservice to your listeners of this station. Shout out to the woman DJ who just chose to stay quiet about politics, she's the smartest one there.

Breakfast was provided from Jack in the Box and Monster drinks. There were about 20+ people there. We got to watch Johnny Suite and Chante perform a couple songs each and live interview.

It seems the radio are filled with adult contemporary, hip hop or Hawaiian/Jawaiian stations. So it is nice to have a station like this to break up the predictability. I don't know many Korean music artists outside of the popular ones (Bigbang, BoA, Girls Generation, Psy, Rain, etc.) and couldn't tell you the artist unless I heard it before and knew, but the playlist of songs seem to have no trouble jumping from poppier sounding fare to ballads that would fit as part of the soundtrack of a Korean drama. In addition to being on the FM dial, the station can be listened to online via their website. It is nice to hear different music on the radio from what I am used to and good to see that there is a decent station at the end of the dial neighboring the Golden Oldies channel.

I am not sure when but I do know that country radio in Hawaii had gone silent for many years. It made a come back on AM radio but the station was located on the west side of the island which made it difficult for us on the east side to catch the station. Finally 97.5 went on air and I was thrilled. I love country music. Now that it is on FM you can hear it all over the island :) Save a horse, Ride a cowboy! Yelp 31 Review Challenge #9/31

The only reason this station can get away with it is because they are the only country station on the island. Which makes KHCM-FM a virtual slum lord for country music. Pathetic.

Kumu- Apply named to teach many new listeners how to by…read moresound hear an era of music quickly. Yes, it is easier listening, almost all the words are easily distinctly heard. You won't hear Snow's Informer on it ever. You will likely hear a modern ballad like a Sam Smith but also a classic 80's like Soft Cell's Tainted Love classic. That is important for new listeners. Being able to hear and appreciate music from a few eras in a row and enjoy that music. Twitter blows up when Paul McCartney performs alongside a modern rapper. That they feel bad for an older male singer- but if they had listened to music on stations like KUMU they wouldn't make dumb comments immediately but appreciate music for listening sake. KUMU is easy contemporary listening, safe radio edit all the way. Is it for everyone- in general yes, that the music has such a wide variety and calm instrumentation which is heavy on vocals, it is good background music especially for an office. Easy listening/ non confrontational/ contemporary music, heavy on male and female vocals, great harmonies, easy melodies. What is unique about Kumu verses another contemporary station on the mainland is that you may hear great local female singers like Helm, Anuhea, and Na Leo, and the greatest Braddah Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. I still feel that Iz could be played in a loop about 3 or 4 songs like his Over the Rainbow at a wedding, funeral, or keiki first birthday for an angry crowd waiting impatiently and after just a few bars of him- the entire mood of the crowd would be calm and relaxed- not just in Hawaii but mainland too, most wouldn't recognize his voice by name but people would connect to the universal-ness of his peaceful voice. KUMU is a good station to go to for keeping the peace on longer car rides if there is a mixed group- always some song playing that more than one person will remember and really connect with emotionally. Every now and then - they have a pop up tent playing music live or semi live, for example I've seen then play at the Art Museum and broadcast during a family event. Sometimes it is neat to see them live.

So i called and the guy that answered 808-948-9464 oct 28 at 1 said that i missed my pick up date and it was the 26th and that i needed to reschedule 2 weeks out. So we ended the call and i KNEW that wasnt true. So i checked my email and it said the 28th. So i called the same number back in less then 30 seconds and the guy answers and hangs up. I called 33 times and each time i can hear background noise then a hang up. Then the last few times it would just ring and ring. So i decided to call a different number 8089471500 and the same guy answered. So i acknowledged that he hung up on me 33 times and that i double checked my email and the time and date i arrived was correct. And now he says sarcastically "yes your right. Im sorry, were just so busy and short on workers" i told him i took time off of work and that i had an appnt so you guys should honor that. He says sarcastically again "yes yes youre right, youre right. Im sorry but the nothing i can do" theres 100000 people laid off from work and not working and your telling me you guys are short on staff? Something is not right and someone is lying here. Overall i feel this prize is a scam because story is fishy.
