History[]
The station, which signed on the air on March 3, 1963, was part of a simulcast with FM sister KUMU during its days as a beautiful music outlet throughout the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. More recently it was adult standards, and later on, sports talk as an affiliate of Sporting News Radio. In 2010 KUMU-AM once again became a simulcast of KUMU-FM. On August 2, 2010, Ohana Broadcast Company, LLC sold KUMU-AM to Blow Up, LLC, for $250,000(USD).[1] On September 30, 2010, the call sign was changed to KHKA and the station started broadcasting a sports talk format. In April 2013, KHKA rebranded as NBC Sports Radio 1500AM.
On January 1, 2019, KHKA became an affiliate of CBS Sports Radio as a result of NBC Sports Radio discontinuing its full-time network programming. By May 2020, KHKA rebranded as "CBS 1500" as it added programming from CBS News Radio and Hawaii News Now to the lineup while retaining CBS Sports Radio programs.
