History

KHLU signed on the air on August 26, 1994 as K60FJ and began airing Univision programming to Honolulu's growing Hispanic population.

Originally KHLU operated on channel 60, but when the FCC made that channel a full-powered allocation with more than seven companies applying for the last vacant TV signal in the market, they relocated to channel 46 and were upgraded to Class-A status. Interestingly, KHLU's parent company was among one of the applicants.

In 2010, KHLU filed an application with the FCC to convert its status from analog to digital. It was licensed for digital operation on channel 46 on May 29, 2015. On April 13, 2017, the FCC announced that KHLU-CD will relocate to RF channel 36[1] by April 12, 2019[2] as a result of the broadcast incentive auction.[3]
