105.9 FM, Honolulu was a vision by friends, entertainment entrepreneur Edward "Chip"(Uehara)- Tilton and veteran Hawaii radio personality Jacqueline L. "Skylark" Rossetti, who created Kasa Moku Ka Pawa Broadcasting Inc, a Delaware Corp. At this time, The FCC opened a new Class C license window for Honolulu in early 1987 and KMKP was formed to pursue the opportunity, vying with 13 other original applicants.Under the then FCC policy of integration and diversification of broadcast ownership almost 11 years of documenting, negotiating , slugging and compensating...KMKP's mana and business plan for a Hawaii oriented live music and roving DJ format, prevailed as FCC Broadcast Station Construction Permit was issued Feb 8, 199. Transmitter/antenna Equipment was conceived by engineers Clayton Caughill and son Cris, and constructed by JAMPRO and Broadcast Electronics.Initial tests conducted and documented and finally, License to broadcast for BLH-20000706ADU awarded July 21, 2000. At the same time, KMKP sold the License, but not the business plan, and: The station signed on the air in 2000 as Active rock KAHA, "Lava Rock." That format changed in 2002 when it shifted to classic rock. They would also pick up the KPOI calls in 2004 after that station flipped formats to news/talk radio.
