KREA (1540 AM) was a commercial radio station in Honolulu, Hawaii. It was owned by JMK Communications, Inc. The station operated from 1973 to 2024.
KREA was powered at 5,000 watts, using a non-directional antenna. The transmitter was on Kalani Street in Honolulu, near the Kapalama Canal.[1]
History
[edit]The station signed on the air on April 24, 1973.[2] It was originally a daytimer station, required to go off the air at night because 1540 AM is a clear channel frequency. The call sign was KISA and it offered a Filipino format. It was owned by Manayan Enterprises.[3] It changed its call letters to KREA in 2000, beginning its Korean format.
KREA ceased broadcasting on March 1, 2024.[4] The Federal Communications Commission cancelled the station's license on September 3, 2025.[5]
