History The station sign-on the air in , before Hawaii was a state. Broadcasting Yearbook 1955 page 332, Broadcasting & Cable Its original call sign was KIKI and it was powered at only 250 watts. Its studios were at 320 Ward Avenue. In the 1960s and 70s, KIKI had a Top 40 format and was an affiliate of the ABC Contemporary Network. Broadcasting Yearbook 1977 page C-57, Broadcasting & Cable

The original KHVH 990 signed on the air in 1957. The call letters KHVH stand for Kaiser Hawaiian Village Hotel in Waikiki, originally owned by Henry J. Kaiser. Today it is the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel. KHVH 990 had its studios at the hotel. The KHVH transmitting tower still stands atop the Hilton's Kalia Tower.

In 1986 KIKI 830 flipped to oldies while the Top 40 hit radio format moved to its FM sister station, the former KUBT. It became KIKI-FM, known as "I94" (now co-owned "93.9 The Beat"). From 1986 through 1990, each year KIKI added an additional year to its repertoire; e.g., if it were playing songs from artists up until 1960, beginning January 1, it would then add songs from 1961, maintaining its oldies format.

In 1993, KIKI and KHVH swapped signals when the outlets became , owned by Clear Channel Communications based in San Antonio. The oldies format and KIKI call letters moved to 990 AM, while the talk format and KHVH call sign moved to 830 AM. The station once broadcast in AM stereo using the C-QUAM system. "AM Stereo & TV Stereo: New Sound Dimensions" by Stan Prentiss, 1985, page 168. In 2014, Clear Channel switched its corporate name to iHeartMedia, Inc.
