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.

I miss the good ole days when we had some truly independent radio stations out here before being bought out by an evil empire. I kid you not when I heard the annoying song by Taylor Swift "Blank Space" a few years ago playing in one radio station that I quickly changed it to another station only to hear the same song on that station and changed it a third station playing the same song. What. The. Faka?! Also is it me that I heard her say "Starbucks Lovers" instead of the lyrics of list of ex-lovers? And speaking of lyrics...Ariana Grande's "Thank U, Next" to me sounds like "Steaks and Eggs!" or "Bacon Eggs" depending on your mood. Having just returned from Oahu for a quick vacation, there are several Reggae stations that we listened to and 93.1 was on the top of our list. Love the vibe and selections they play. My only knock is they play limited songs and also repeat them, but I don't mind because it's music I like listening to. I was feeling "homesick" and needed some Reggae vibes while drivin' and asked Wifey if we could stream their station on line. Sure enough, I plugged in my iPhone and suddenly we were back in Oahu again feelin' the island vibes as I drifted on the right lane and even started to drive slower. Yup, had that effect on me right away and I was calm, relaxed and mellow as we drove home listening to island soul music. Note: Reno and Carson City has better radio stations than the Bay Area. That's a fact, Jack!

I currently live in Oahu and commute daily to work. I started listening to 96.3 because they…read moreoffered the most reliable traffic updates. However, lately I find myself very disgusted by the stereotypical character named LaFonda Jenkins; who attempts to cast black females in the most derogative light possible. This has been at the least emotionally harmful and detrimental to the self esteem of young blacks and especially black females of all ages. As a member of the very small population of under represented black people here on the islands; as we are not politically connected here brings the LaFonda miss-characterization to the level of blatant racism. Jokes made at the expense of a group who has far too often been scapegoated and demeaned throughout history to the point that daily they have spend much of their days trying to over come the same images LaFonda paints of them on job interviews and or when trying to acquire housing. For example I have personally had a person tell me here in Hawaii that I am different from most blacks she has heard of. When I asked her how many black people she personally knew; I was surprised by her answer. She said "I do not know any really". However what she learned of them via radio and TV it was all bad. Thus making your Lafonda skits very egregious since for most people who rarely travel to the mainland or have opportunities to engage with black people for a reasonable amount of time have only the daily image you word paint into their minds. 96.3 you have yourselves to thank for perpetuating this myth of the black woman as a person of loose morals. A myth used long ago by white men to justify the rapes and crimes against many young black girls. Today I decided that I would not let black history month end without saying SHAME on YOU!

I almost missed it because it right on the corner. I would have probably missed it if I didn't see a sign and staff out there waving us in. First of all, I'd like to say that PBS Hawaii does an awesome job exciting young minds to create videos. They run a great program called Hiki No which are student produced video stories. I'm really into learning and trying to teach my students how to do that. I have been trying for years but PBS Hawaii's program is wonderful. In the past I've just had to learn on my own. I'm not a professional videographer or even photographer so I don't really know what I'm doing. With Hiki No, they provide mentors to students to help them with their projects. This will be my first year participating in this with my school but we are excited. I'm excited for my students and also myself. I'm glad that I can take part in this process. Anyways, I was at PBS Hawaii because they had several breakout sessions during the day to teach us more about the video process. It was great. They had actual industry professionals giving teachers advice of how to start and what kind of shots would be best. For me, it was the first time that I really felt like I could do this. I'm excited for my students that they get expert help this year. Everyone at PBS Hawaii is wonderful. They're excited to learn about future projects and willing to work with new students.

According to the bio below, PBS Hawaii was once Hawaii Public Television and owned/managed by the…read morestate. It has since broken way from the state and renamed and rebranded itself to PBS Hawaii, which I think has done wonders for the organization. The brand new multi-million dollar broadcasting facility on the corner of Sand Island Access Road and Nimitz is a HUGE improvement from their previous facility at UH Manoa, and I'll bet this would not have been possible had it still been under the ownership/management of the state. This new facility enables PBS Hawaii to produce a lot of great local programming including HIKI NO, which are stories on topics of local interest, made and produced by Hawaii's own middle and high schoolers from public and private schools! In addition to the quality programming that PBS Hawaii airs on TV, it also hosts exclusive events for Keiki Club members, such as this past weekend's halloween costume party which was held at their brand new studio. As keiki club members, we got a little peak at their new facility and also got a photo op with Daniel Tiger! If you want to join in on the fun, just google 'pbs hawaii keiki club' for more info. $30 annual donation gets your child a cool welcome packet, on-air birthday greeting, birthday card and surprise present, quarterly newsletter, and most important, invites to exclusive members-only events!
