KLUU (103.5 FM) is a radio station licensed to Wahiawa, Hawaii, and serving the Honolulu metropolitan area. It broadcasts a contemporary Christian radio format.[1] It is owned by the Educational Media Foundation and carries the K-Love Network.[2]
KLUU has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 100,000 watts (horizontal polarization) and 86,490 watts (vertical polarization).^ It may be operating on an auxiliary power of 85,000 watts ERP.[3] The transmitter is off Palehua Road, amid the towers for other Honolulu-area FM and TV stations.[4] It also operates FM translator stations on 104.7 in Haleiwa and 105.5 in Honolulu.
Under Kona Coast Radio,[5] KLUU applied for a construction permit as KKHI in February 2005[6] (superseded by a September transaction that same year), and became a variety station owned by Vic Michael of Kona Coast which officially signed on in 2007.
In October 2005, the call sign changed from KKHI to KHAI.[7] In March 2007, Kona Coast sold KHAI to the Educational Media Foundation, which began running its Air1 service,[8] which eventually was switched over to K-love. KHAI obtained the present KLUU callsign from K-love's Jamestown, North Dakota affiliate KJKL in 2015.
KLUU broadcasts using HD Radio technology.
KLUU programming is also carried on a broadcast translator station to extend or improve the coverage area of the station.
