[edit] History
98.5 signed on the air in 1988 as KHHH, "The Wave," boasting a new age (or "smooth jazz") format. Soon after, the station picked up the satellite format "Z-Rock," and for a time boasted that adrenaline-pumping, testosterone fueled format. When that didn't work, KHHH began simulcasting its all-news AM sibling KHVH-AM. Soon after, the station flipped again, as KKLV with a Classic Hits format (which was launched in 1994), but by 1999 they would flip to its current format, which targets young adults with a mix of Contemporary Hawaiian hits, Reggae and local fare.
KDNN is one of Honolulu's four FM stations whose format is geared toward native Hawaiians, KCCN-FM, KHUI-FM and KINE-EM are the other three.
