About This Station

Hawai'i Public Radio HPR-2 (KIPO) is the classical music stream of Hawai'i Public Radio, a member-supported public radio network founded in 1981 and serving the state of Hawai'i. While sister station HPR-1 carries news, talk, and a variety of music, HPR-2 is dedicated to classical music, as described on the station's website: "Your home for classical music." As an NPR-affiliated public radio station, it offers a statewide classical format, complementing the network's broader local news and cultural programming featured on HPR-1. The station's call sign KIPO and its tags (public radio, NPR, classical) further confirm its role as a classical-focused public radio outlet in the United States.
