Hawaiian Music Stations Listing
A listing of stations providing a range of Polynesian and Hawaiian music from traditional to contemporary. Not all sites listed work, but a significant number do. Those wishing to listen will have to work out the actual listening times depending where you live in relation to where the transmission is being broadcast from. Some stations provide very melodic music with infectious rhythms. Makes a contrast from the excellent light orchestral and easy listening music available elsewhere.

The Original Hawaii Calls Radio show
with Webley Edwards.
Historical transcripts changed periodically.
