History
Under Kona Coast Radio, KLUU applied for a construction permit as KKHI in February 2005 (superseded by a September transaction that same year), and became a variety station owned by Vic Michael of Kona Coast which officially signed on in 2007.
In October 2005, the call sign changed from KKHI to KHAI. In March 2007, Kona Coast sold KHAI to the Educational Media Foundation, which began running its Air1 service, which eventually was switched over to K-love. KHAI obtained the present KLUU callsign from K-love's Jamestown, North Dakota affiliate KJKL in 2015.
