KNDI Radio 1270 AM is a locally owned radio station broadcasting in 14 different dialects and English throughout the islands of Hawaii.  When KNDI Radio 1270 AM first hit the airwaves on July 11, 1960 with owner James Ownby, it was an all female radio station.  Unfortunately, that format wasn't accepted back in the '60's -- so we slowly changed to Ethnic & Religious programming.  Today we are known for "The Voices Around the World" as we broadcast in 14 different dialects and English throughout the State of Hawaii.  Below are just a few pictures from the past 50 years!
