Aloha Friday October 24, 2008





Aloha, I'm Ed Kanoi (okay that's not really me at the right but we can dream)... and Mahalo for listening this morning!



It has been quite a period of readjustment after the changes we've made, but things are starting to settle down. This is my first entry in what I hope will become a weekly, if not daily update for YOU on what's going on at 'Mornings with Ed Kanoi' here at Oldies 107.9. I would be remiss if I didn't thank those of you that called in and showed your support for both Paul and I during these changes.

We are still working together -- Paul's Country studio is next door to the Oldies studio. We've worked it out so he'll pop by every morning to update You and me on sports. His Daily Sports Report should be on the air around 5:30 am. Again, everywhere we go, Paul (The Kap'n) and I get comments about how much you've enjoyed the time we played together. We collectively Thank You for your kind words and the time you've spent listening to us.

Over the years the one thing I've learned about working in radio is that it's always changing. We, as listeners and performers, make the adjustments and continue on. We've just been through one of those changes, and from this vantage point, it could've been worse. Salem Media of Hawaii is trying to keep its radio stations alive in this difficult economy and I can't find fault with that. We listen for free, but somebody has to pay the bills to keep it going! So I invite you to continue listening to Oldies 107.9 -- We'll have a good time!

And now, if you have a "hankering" for a country song or two, tune in to The Kap'n & the Outlaw morning show on Hawaii's Country Music, KHCM 97.5.


Questions, contact information, and other notes for You.....

Does that Nature Bee stuff really work?

I can tell You it's been 6 months for me and even I'm surprised by the changes in energy level I have these days! My day starts at 3 am and usually ends around 8 pm, when I put my two toddler sons down to sleep. I don't get out of this office usually until 4 pm (on a good day!). Take my word for it -- I don't think I'd be able to keep this schedule if it weren't for Nature Bee. Try it for yourself and see if it works for you.

The Nature Bee toll free number is: 1-866-834-8355
