History

The station signed on the air with a Classic Hits format as "The Fox" in 1990, switching to a Traditional Hawaiian format in 1992 to compete against KCCN-FM. The station was later purchased by then KCCN-FM owner B.J. Glascock and would become their sister station in 1993.

KINE target 25-54s of Hawaiian descent, done in an Adult Contemporary presentation, which includes Hawaiian songs from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. This direction distinguishes KINE from KCCN-FM, who targets younger Hawaiian with a Top 40/CHR-style presentation and AM sister KKNE, whose audience are 35-64 and plays older Traditional Hawaiian hits.
