New Transmitter for Radio Tower on Ahui Street
The Authority deferred
action on a request to authorize the HCDA Executive Director to consent
to the addition of one transmitter to the radio tower on Ahui Street by
Salem Media of Hawaii, Inc. Salem Media has a 55-year lease with
the State of Hawaii to operate its AM/FM radio broadcasting and
transmitter facilities on a parcel of land located on Ahui
Street. Salem plans to construct an additional transmitter at the
site for its station KHNR (AM). Action on the request was
deferred to address a question on whether public safety issues posed by
the addition of another transmitter on the site have been assessed.
