What is "kzoo"

KZOO (1210 AM) is a radio station catering to the Japanese community of Honolulu, Hawaii. The station offers a Japanese Variety and Pop music (aka J-Pop) format and is under ownership of Polynesian Broadcasting, Inc. KZOO also retransmits on Oceanic Time Warner Cable digital channel 888 for the entire state of Hawaii.

KZOO has been broadcasting continuously in Japanese since the station signed on October 18, 1963. It was not the first Japanese-language station in Honolulu (competitor KOHO/1170 signed on in 1959), but it is the only one still on the air today (KOHO changed in 1990).
