From John Heckathorn's column, in today's Honolulu Star-Bulletin:
Ron Jacobs is a radio legend, both locally (KPOI, KKUA) and on the Mainland (KHJ, KBG, "American Top 40"). He's been working off the air for decades, but you couldn't expect him to fade away quietly.
"I'm going to be the world's first live global disc jockey," he claims. He's signed up producers and sponsors, gotten interns from Windward Community College, crammed his small Kaneohe living room with hi-tech gear. The show will broadcast online on whodaguyhawaii.com, and soon be available wirelessly on devices like iPhones.
He'll rise with the roosters in Kaneohe, doing his live globalcast from 3 to 7 a.m., prime time on the West Coast. He'll play mostly classic and vintage Hawaiian music, and chat with correspondents he's set up around the globe. The show will repeat around the clock, says Jacobs. "It's always morning somewhere."
The show launches 7-7-07, scheduled first guest: Don Ho. "We're reinventing radio for the 21st century," says Jacobs, with characteristic understatement.
