KNAN (106.7FM) is a commercialradio station licensed toNanakuli, Hawaii, United States, and serving theHonolulu metropolitan area. It has arhythmic adult contemporary format and is owned by Big D Consulting, Inc.[2][3] KNAN's transmitter is sited off of Palehua Road inAkupu, Hawaii.
The station signed on in June 2009. At first, it tested aclassic hits format as part of its soft launch. The station used a cell tower to broadcast its signal while it looked for a studio and transmitter facilities. According to Will Kemp, whose Kemp Communications is a part-owner of KNAN, the future format will not be another Top 40 or Rhythmic outlet, which had been speculated because Kemp owns RhythmicKVEGLas Vegas, Nevada. There were rumors that a fourthRhythmic Contemporary would join the others on the Honolulu dial. "It's [meaning the new format] going to stay a secret," Kemp said.[4]
When the station officially launched, it took ahot adult contemporary format, positioning it betweenTop 40 hits and mainstreamadult contemporary. It eventually switched torhythmic adult contemporary, and the station began competing withKUMU-FM. A transmitter site was found in Akupu, putting KNAN's antenna amid thetowers for Honolulu TV and FM stations.
