KEWE (1240 AM, "Wowie 97.9") is a radio station licensed to the city of Kahului, Hawaii. Owned by Akamai Broadcasting, it carries an oldies format.

History

Its first license was granted by the FCC on February 10, 2015. New 5,000 watt AM radio stations are unusual in 2015; frequencies on the AM band are scarce.

The station previously carried a Hawaiian music format as The Spirit. In 2024, Visionary Related Entertainment sold all of its Maui stations to Akamai Broadcasting. On December 9, 2024, the station flipped to oldies as Wowie 97.9.
