Pacific Media Group flipped Alternative Alt 105.9 KPOI-FM Honolulu to Soft
AC 105.9 The Wave

The station is now positioning as Relaxing Favorites with a playlist heavy
on 1980s ballads. Considering its location in Hawaii, the station is
playing one Hawaiian artist every other hour. The new format places KPOI-FM
in direct competition with iHeartMedias 590 KSSK/92.3 KSSK-FM and
SummitMedias Krater 96.3 KRTR-FM.

KPOI had featured some variant of Rock music since its sign-on in 2000 with
stints as Active Rock, Classic Rock and since 2014 Alternative.

One of two Alternative stations in the Honolulu market, KPOI-FM registered
a mere 1.4 share in the March Nielsen Audio monthly. iHeartMedias competing
Star 101.9 KUCD had a 2.2. KSSK led the market with a 12.0 share.

The first hour of 105.9 The Wave consisted of:

FCC Report 5/3: WKVB Moves Closer To Boston

Educational Media Foundation has applied to relocate its newly acquired
107.3 WKVB Westborough/Boston.

The former WAAF will move from the WUTF-TV tower where it was the final
occupant to the Hudson MA tower utilized by four television stations. The
move east will see WKVB downgrade from a Class B to B1 with 2.1kW/321m.

WKVB was recently granted CPs for a trio of boosters to enhance its
coverage in Boston proper. WKVB-1 Boston will operate with 1.5 watts/242m
from the John Hancock Tower downtown, WKVB-2 Lexington will operate with
190w/106m, and WKVB-3 Waltham with 265w/118m. The three boosters will
operate at locations where Northeast Broadcasting AAA 92.5 The River WXRV
Andover and Cumulus Media Hot AC 104.5 WXLO Fitchburg have previously
established boosters.
FCC Actions

After affirming the deletions of William Zawila’s 100.1 KNGS Coalinga, the
Estate of HL Charles’ 102.1 KZPE Ford City and the Estate of Linda Ware’s
103.1 KZPO Lindsay CA in late December over misrepresentation to the FCC,
the two other licenses associated in the proceedings have been deleted.

Avenal Educational Services’ 106.9 KAAX Avenal and Central Valley
Educational Services’ 94.7 KYAF Firebaugh CA were deleted due to their
licensees not being incorporated prior to the licenses being granted. The
non-commercial stations applied for CPs in 1988 and 1989, but were not
incorporated until 1999 and 2001 respectively. That should have made both
applications unqualified and dismissed back then.

1520 Radio Asias 1520 WTRI Brunswick MD has been issued a Notice of
Violation for operating well past its authorized sign-off time as a
daytime-only license.
