KCIF (90.3 FM) is a radio station in Hilo, Hawaii broadcasting a Contemporary Inspirational format. The station is currently owned by Hilo Christian Broadcasting Corp. and features programming from Salem Communications.[1]

History

KCIF is the spiritual successor to another Hilo Christian radio station, KFSH at 97.1 MHz. That station, owned by the University of the Nations, was sold in July 1995 and became secular KNWB. As a result, Hilo Christian Broadcasting was formed, airing programming on KPUA (670 AM) and receiving a $60,000 equipment donation from the former KFSH.[2] The changeover also required Hilo Christian to find new studio space. KCIF began broadcasting in 1998.
