As Blake Shelton correctly points out on the Voice one episode, you will hear - Gwen Stafani, Christina Agulara, Usher, Maroon 5, Pharrell Williams. You will also hear on the Shania Twain, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, and Whitney Houston.
80's, 90's, 2K's and Now....no longer the greatest slogan, but a broad range of music for sure.
Hearing 'Call me Maybe' once a week or less is just fine nowadays, insead of hearing it looped on end on end by switching station to station back to the original station that started playing it only to be back to it being on the playlist - AGAIN!
HammerTime! 5am-10am
Mornings are just so so in Hawaii, DJs for example in Chicago bring their A Game in the mornings- normally Hammer time is just average morning banter and not something special that would make national news. I expect something more for a morning driving to work show time slot.
Wayne Maria: 10am-2pm
Kinda normal DJ with contemporary artists.
Kona Chang: 2pm-7pm
Again- Kinda normal DJ with contemporary artists.
Love Songs with Sistah Sherry: 7pm-12am
Night time love songs and dedications. Hawaii's longest running dedication show. Here is what I would expect to hear as something unexpected here in HI. Everyone can relate to love songs- they are a staple. Even big 80's hair bands had to have at least 1 big name big budget love song/ ballad. Think Poison - Every Rose Has It's Thorns. Just about everyone can relate to and understand deep emotions listening to dedications of Aloha. Really great to have this show and listen to it to be uplifted every now and then.
Along the same lines- there is the famous syndicated show - Delilah.

Here is a different kind of comment- so read it all before making any negative opinions, please. There is a reason why people willingly pay tons of money to psychics- even when they know that person is a fraud. They are looking for something- usually reassurance and think by paying money they will find it in a psychic. Delilah isn't a psychic but uses so many of the same con artist tools of the trade. Again - hear me out- I'm not saying that she is a con artist, I am saying that the same way a con artist can fool a willing mark, she listens to a person with compassion and is really able to quickly connect with a person- either by phone or online- or written letters and offer a great deal of reassurance. Others want to be involved in that process of healing and Aloha even when they don't know it in so many words. It isn't a con- it is a radio program, but it really connects people's lives together and can be therapeutic to listen and feel better about the world.
I used to listen to this same show in Chicago before I knew it was syndicated and am glad that it is on stations in most states. It is a great way to connect people's hearts back to one another.
I still listen, and enjoy it. I don't think it is as bad as other sappy love song dedications, because she is way better and encouraging as like a friendly old auntie that really has seen life and cares greatly about people. read more
