A new second KSSK station, The Lounge 92.3-2, also is broadcasting in HD with a smooth jazz format. Listeners need an HD radio to pick up the new signals.
"It was such a pleasure and so appropriate to have Dale launch the new stations for us," said Chuck Cotton, vice president and general manager for Clear Channel in Hawai'i, in a statement.
