Kaua'i Community Radio - KKCR

KKCR is Kauai’s independent, non-commercial, listener-supported community radio station. We seek to stimulate, educate and entertain our audience, to preserve, perpetuate and celebrate Hawaiian culture, and to reflect the diversity of the local and world community. We provide a forum for overlooked, suppressed, or under-represented voices and music. The Kekahu Foundation facilitates this broadcasting opportunity. In the wake of Hurricane `Iniki’s devastation in 1992, community members gathered to develop a plan to stay connected, informed and safe. Their brainchild was Kaua`i Community Radio. In the summer of 1997, KKCR broadcast its first signals island-wide. The small community-based, non-profit radio station connects all the remote communities on the isolated Garden Island. KKCR is committed to providing relevant, accurate, timely information during times of crisis. It’s also dedicated to representing the unique character of the island community. KKCR’s program schedule reflects the broad, rich spectrum of Kaua`i’s community. Musical genres include vintage and contemporary Hawaiian, Jazz, Alternative, Reggae, World, Classical, Rock and Blues. Kaua`i Live features in-studio performances from local and visiting artists on Sunday evenings. The Public Affairs programming includes weekly call-in talk shows, a Hawaiian Entertainment Calendar, Community Calendar, and Arts & Entertainment Calendar. Special interest programs include gardening, island pets, health and wellness, and teen radio. As a commercial-free, non-profit entity, KKCR’s survival depends on support from its community – local and global.
