KORL-FM is a commercial radio station located in Waianae, Hawaii, broadcasting to the Honolulu, Hawaii area on 101.1 FM. KORL-FM airs a Smooth Jazz music format. The station is currently owned by Pacific Radio Group.
[edit] History
The station signed on in 1989 adopting an adult contemporary music format with the call letters of KLHI. By 1996, the format changed to a modern adult contemporary music later evolving to a modern rock music format.
In 2005 The FCC gave the station the green light to move the station and its city of license to Honolulu. The station originally played multi-cultural programming during the day and smooth jazz at night and 24 hours on the weekends, but on June 9, 2008, KORL dropped all of its daytime multi-cultural programming and went with Smooth Jazz fulltime.
KLHI recently adopted the new call letters of KORL-FM and dropped the modern rock music format moving it to a new frequency of 92.5 FM.
[edit] A Second Station
Prior to KORL-FM's move-in, another radio station broadcasted on the same frequency called "Energy 101.1" (KXRG-LP). It aired nonstop dance music at around 2pm to 2am from Ala Moana to Pearlridge. Energy 101.1's frequency could not be heard from the windward areas such as Kaneohe and Kailua. However KXRG has officially signed off so KORL-FM can occupy the frequency. KXRG will have to move to another signal because of its status as a low-power station.
