KKON (790 AM) is a radio station licensed to serve Kealakekua, Hawaii. The station is owned by First Assembly King's Cathedral and Chapels.[1]

The station was assigned the KKON call letters by the Federal Communications Commission.[2]

KKON has gone silent rather than repoint the satellite dish that received its programming from satellite AMC-8, which was taken out of service at midnight on June 30, 2017.[3] AMC-8 has been replaced by AMC-18, which is at a different location in the sky, requiring repointing the station's dish.[4]. Shortly before being off the air for a year, KKON temporarily emerged from silence from June 11th to 13th, 2018 before going silent again.[5]
