It was a tight race, but ultimately, “Maui’s Island Music Station,” Native 92.5 FM, prevailed as MauiTime readers’ top pick. Sure, playlists matter most, but it’s the personalities behind them that make them shine. From KawikaVeeka’s “Mahalo Morning Show” to Wailea firefighter Pito Javier to soothing-as-the-sea voiced Chisa-Lee Dizon to the antics of Tony “The Pangster” Pang to the lovely Miss Loke, “na na na na na na na na...NATIVE!” 92.5 is youthful and ultra-local. Of their style, KawikaVeeka says, “It’s the middle ground between Hawaiian Island living and today’s cutting-edge, modern-day lifestyle.”
