This evening (Oct. 16), we'll be doing planned maintenance that requires both HPR-1 and HPR-2 to be off the air on most of Oʻahu and Kauaʻi. We may have weekend interruptions for 88.1 and 89.3 overnight on Saturday, as well as Sunday evening. Digital streaming is always available on our website and HPR app.
