vvIn the event that you haven*t heard yet, KHBC 92.7FM (Hilo), KHBC 1060AM (Hilo) and Kona 92.1FM are "dark". This occurred yesterday morning. All 3 stations have been shut down due to lack of funds and a large amount of money owed to various entities (i.e. Aloha Radio Group, Marquee Broadcasting, Korbel Capital LLC, Spring Ranch, IRS and HI State Dept of Taxation. Scott Parker said he hoped it would be a temporary closure. A rumor going around (according to the HI Tribune Herald) is an imminent sale to New West Broadcasting which includes KWXX-FM, KNWB-FM and KPUA-AM. Chris Leonard Pres/GM said he had talked with Parker but due to economy that the local marketing agreement "was not with us". Parker said all employees were paid and he hoped to reopen with a new plan and perhaps a new formet in the next few months. Parrott Broadcasting (Parker) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization in January.
