90.1 FM<\/abbr> coverage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

KTUH<\/abbr> FM<\/abbr> Honolulu<\/a>, the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Mānoa<\/a>’s radio station, began broadcasting island-wide at its new frequency 90.1 FM<\/abbr> with 7,000 watts on March 19.<\/p>\n

The frequency switch was commemorated with an hour of Hawaiian music. KTUH<\/abbr> now broadcasts at 90.1 FM<\/abbr> in Honolulu and throughout the island; 91.1 FM<\/abbr> remains to serve pockets on Oʻahu<\/span>’s North Shore.<\/p>\n

KTUH<\/abbr> boosts reach<\/h2>\n

The student-run radio station hit the airwaves in 1969 as Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>’s first FM<\/abbr>-licensed, public\/non-commercial radio station. KTUH<\/abbr> added a North Shore translator and then increased its wattage from 100 to 3,000 watts in 2001, which extended Mānoa’s coverage to Waipahu and Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Kai.<\/p>\n

Striving to expand further, KTUH<\/abbr> began planning this current project in 2006. Fundraising started in 2009 and continued through the 2015 KTUH<\/abbr> Pledge Drive last Spring, which secured the remaining finances. These funds allowed the station to move its antenna from the top of Saunders Hall on the UH<\/abbr> Mānoa campus to the top of Tantalus, a colocation with Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Public Radio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new antenna comes with a new transmitter that boosts the station’s wattage from 3,000 to 7,000 watts; allowing KTUH<\/abbr> to be heard island-wide at the new 90.1 frequency. The 91.1 FM<\/abbr> translator frequency will remain to serve pockets on the North Shore. The Tantalus site’s 2,000-foot elevation and location offers KTUH<\/abbr> coverage on both sides of the Koʻolau<\/span> and Waiʻanae<\/span> mountain ranges, as well as urban, central and rural Honolulu.<\/p>\n
