The kings of Honolulu morning talk radio have found a new home for their popular Saturday breakfast program. After 19 years of broadcasting live from the Hanohano Room, "Perry & Price" are moving to John Dominis.

Hosts Michael W. Perry and Larry Price will air their first show from John Dominis on Dec. 6. The top-rated show is simulcast on KSSK AM 590 and KSSK FM 92.3 from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. and has 100,000 listeners in addition to its live audience.

The duo had to move their show from the Hanohano Room, on the top floor of the Sheraton Waikiki, because of an upcoming renovation project and a decision at the restaurant to discontinue breakfast service. The room could accommodate 200 to 250 guests for the show.

The talk-show hosts said John Dominis was a natural choice because of the view it offered, its food and its reputation.

"We are thrilled to be partnering with one of the most prestigious and elegant restaurants ever in Hawai'i," Perry said. "John Dominis has been a brand name representing quality dining here for decades and it's great to team up with them for the years to come."

Perry & Price guests have included Burt Lancaster, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Oprah Winfrey, Dolly Parton and Kristi Yamaguchi.

Tickets for the Perry & Price Saturday Morning Show at John Dominis will be $24.95 for the buffet and live entertainment. John Dominis seats up to 300 guests and offers complimentary valet parking for the Perry & Price Saturday Morning Show.
