KKAI is a new television station that hit the air in 2004 in Honolulu, Hawaii. The license is owned by Kailua Brodacasting, LLC.

The station's city of license is Kailua and operates on NTSC analog channel 50. Originally intended to sign on as an affiliate of the UPN television network, it is currently airing family programming from Faith TV in addition to local programming.

As of August 2007, KKAI programming cannot be seen outside of the Honolulu area over the air or on cable.

Digital television

Because it was granted an original construction permit after the FCC finalized the DTV allotment plan on April 21, 1997 [http://www.transmitter.com/FCC97115/chanplan.html] , the station did not receive a companion channel for a digital television station. Instead, on or before February 17, 2009, which is the end of the digital TV conversion period for full-service stations, KKAI will be required to turn off its analog signal and turn on its digital signal (called a "flash-cut").
