K256AS is a relay transmitter broadcasting on 99.1 FM, simulcasting KUBT-HD2's Rhythmic adult contemporary/Classic Hip-Hop for those in the Honolulu area that don't have an HD Radio receiver. Licensed in Honolulu, the station primarily serves the southern portion of Oahu and is under ownership of iHeartMedia, Inc. (formerly Clear Channel Communications until September 2014).

Station History

The license to this station was granted on July 30, 2007 as a retranslator for KDNN, airing traditional Hawaiian music as "Hawai’i No Ka Oi" (translated as "Indeed the Best"). Local radio personalities Lanai and Augie (previously of main KDNN station) hosted their own morning talk show Weekdays from 6 to 9AM.

On June 27, 2014, the format was replaced by the iHeartRadio EDM/Dance platform "Evolution" and switched its HD2 subchannel carrier from KDNN to KHJZ (the latter replacing its Rhythmic Top 40 format and whose signal has better coverage; KHJZ changed its call letters to KUBT in 2016). The station follows the Dance/EDM "Evolution" format, but is customized for Honolulu with local traffic reports and liners targeting its competitors. "Hawai’i No Ka Oi" continues on KDNN's HD2 sub channel and as an iHeartRadio platform.

On September 9, 2016, K256AS dropped the "Evolution" format to take KUBT's displaced Rhythmic AC/Classic Hip-Hop format, and rebranded as "99.1 Jamz." The move was to allow KUBT to incorporate the Dance/EDM crossovers into its relaunched Rhythmic Top 40 direction.^[1]
