History
KUCD signed on the air in 1991 as a smooth jazz outlet as "CD 101.9". On August 29, 1997, at 3 PM, it would switch directions to modern AC as "Star 101.9."[2] It further evolved towards Modern Rock in 2001. This lasted until 2009, when it shifted back to Modern AC; with this format change, KUCD changed its positioner from "Hawaii's New Music Alternative" to "90's, 2K, and Today". In early 2011, KUCD reverted to the modern rock format, albeit with a slight Modern AC lean, using their previous positioner, "Hawaii's New Music Alternative", once again. A few months after this, KUCD dropped the Modern AC lean, and is once again a full-fledged modern rock station.
In 2013, the station changed its positioner to "Hawaii's Alternative".
