Mele Apana and Shannon Scott, known as Da Kolohe Krew, reunited earlier in 2016 doing Saturday mornings on KINE Hawaiian 105. But what started as a casual gig has grown into a highly popular show. So now the pair have been rewarded with the 5 a.m.-12 Noon slot, Monday to Friday. As Hawaii celebrates 50 years of radio, the pair get the shot they’d been hoping for.
Scott said, “Mele and I have been wanting to work on projects together for years. When Operations Manager Wayne Maria and SummitMedia Hawaii President Andrew Rosen called, we were very excited about the meeting. We were stoked when they said we could do a weekend show, for fun. We didn’t realize how big it would get. The comments and responses kept coming in. It was such an honor and a blessing.”
Operations Manager Wayne Maria said; “I have been happy with the amount of time Da Kolohe Krew invests in creating a compelling show featuring strong features. We are confident Hawaii will love waking up with the Krew.”
