KRYL

KRYL (106.5 FM, "Y106.5") is an American radio station licensed to serve the community of Haiku, Hawaii, United States.

[4] Previously, the station had operated intermittently from its February 2008 launch until beginning regular broadcasting with a smooth jazz music format in August 2009.

[6][7] This right was won by Joel Sellers of New Orleans, Louisiana, through her company Big Island Broadcasting, Inc.[8] The winning gross bid was reported as $1,667,000.

[9][11] However, in the rush to beat the expiration of the construction permit, the station's main radio studios were not yet completed so KUHI began broadcasting under program test authority from a temporary facility.

[9] After notifying the FCC on March 26, 2008, the station applied for special temporary authority to remain silent while these issues were resolved.

In October 2010, Big Island Broadcasting, Inc., reached an agreement to sell KRYL to HHawaii Media subsidiary Hochman Hawaii Five, Inc., for $450,000 in cash[15] plus stock in the purchasing company.
