Ownership status
Until the transaction selling this station to a new owner is consummated, the radio station is still owned by Clear Channel Communications under the control of the Aloha Station Trust, LLC. That position in the AST does not officially change the ownership, just the controlling interest.--Winger84 (talk) 00:09, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Analog format

 * Only 2,000 of the 13,000 analog AM/FM radio stations in the U.S. have converted to HD; of those that have converted, all still broadcast via analog as mandated by the FCC. Moreoever, the first HD channel of every HD Radio station is a simulcast of the analog signal -- again, as mandated by the FCC (see link below).

 * 239 million analog radio listeners in the U.S. vs. only 3 million HD Radio units. By far, analog is still the preferred choice among radio consumers (see link below).

 * Clearly, the infobox should reflect that analog technology is still the dominant form of transmission. It's also no secret that the radio industry has been heavily promoting HD Radio; by including only the HD Radio formats, one begins to question the credibility of this article's content.
