The idea for KKCR originated in the late '80s and after Hurricane Iniki devastated the Island on September 11, 1992. Janet Friend, Roy Richardson, Richard Fernandez, Jon and Lorraine Scott, and other Island residents decided to start a north shore radio station that would serve Island residents, withstand extreme weather conditions and provide emergency information to isolated residents. The station provides one of the primary Emergency Alert System signals on Kauaʻi.[2]
