KHNU (620 AM) (branded as Honu 62) was a radio station broadcasting a News/Talk format. Licensed to Hilo, Hawaii, USA, the station served the Hilo area.

History
This station began their broadcasts as KIPA in 1947 through various formats. The most recent format was oldies/adult standards music that has featured programing from ABC Radio's "Timeless Favorites" satellite feed. In 2007, its previous owner Skynet had to sign KIPA off the air after the station lost its transmitter lease. New owners brought the station back on the air with a new callsign and new format that featured programming from Sean Hannity, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Michael Savage, Handel on the Law, among other hosts.[2]
On December 4, 2015, the Federal Communications Commission notified KHNU's licensee that the station's license had expired effective November 22, 2015, due to the station having been silent for the previous year.
