The station signed on in
1989 adopting anadult contemporary music format with thecall letters of KLHI. By1996 , the format changed to amodern adult contemporary music later evolving to amodern rock music format. In2005 The FCC gave the station the green light to move the station and its city of license to Honolulu. The station originally played multi-cultural programming during the day and smooth jazz at night and 24 hours on the weekends, but on June 9, 2008, KORL dropped all of its daytime multi-cultural programming and went with Smooth Jazz fulltime. KORL-FM is owned by H-Hawaii Media.KLHI recently adopted the new
call letters of KORL-FM and dropped themodern rock music format moving it to a new frequency of 92.5FM .A Second Station
Prior to KORL-FM's move-in, another radio station broadcast on the same frequency called "Energy 101.1" (
KXRG -LP). It aired nonstop dance music at around 2pm to 2am from Ala Moana to Pearlridge. Energy 101.1's frequency could not be heard from the windward areas such asKaneohe andKailua . However KXRG has officially signed off so KORL-FM can occupy the frequency. KXRG will have to move to another signal because of its status as a low-power station.External links
