Well, if you were hoping that dance music would return to the airwaves of Honolulu, HI, you can forget it. There was an LPFM dance station there called “Energy 101” (KXRG-LP 101.1.) In July of 2007, they were knocked off the air by a full power commercial station, KORL-FM, which was granted the same frequency. (For those who don’t know, low power FMs (LPFMs) must give way to full power stations.) KXRG-LP applied for an extention for a CP to find a new frequency. That has run out as of January 25, 2009, and all reports indicate that there is no KXRG on the air there now.
I have been following this closely, and, from what I can gather, after the station was shuttered, it fell apart. It was mostly staffed by volunteers.
A visit to the station’s website, www.myhienergy.com, shows the same page they’ve had up since July 2007.
It is a sad day for dance music fans in Hawaii, indeed, and this is one more defeat for dance music radio in the history books.
