Baby, It's Cold Outside on Maui

On this Christmas Eve, The Time Machine radio hosts, Daphne Matsumoto and Michael McCartney, found themselves having a wonderful time on the air sharing brand new Christmas songs from Neil Nathan, The Britannicas, Arden Kaywin, The Hollyberrys, Selma Blair & Rainn Wilson, The Genuine Fakes, The Rip Chords and The Wellingtons. Summer Blue along with producers Jenny Leong and Ashley Starr kept the Time Machine Christmas tradition with DJ Deron Furukawa's bake-a-thon that resulted in him stopping by during the broadcast immediately after letting his cookies cool out of the oven. Feeling the Christmas spirit and perhaps a wee bit competitive was our own PSA Goddess Kai and DJ Skinny Guy busting a few moves in the kitchen that produced the warmest chewy chocolate chip cookies and the finest chewy chocolate brownies ever in the air studio. Keeping everyone on their best behavior on the air and behind the scenes was precious little Ayva.






The Time Machine featured two special Christmas songs from two of our most heavily played and requested artists, Jason Mraz and She & Him's Zooey Deschanel with her duet partner Will Farrell, from the motion picture "Elf". Other artists heard on this Maui afternoon FM radio aircheck include; Bill Lloyd, Vibeke Saugestad, Kip Oddotta, Darlene Love, Spinal Tap, XTC, The Muppets, Vince Guaraldi Trio, Beach Boys, Farrah, Andy Williams, Jonas Brothers, Pugwash, The Ramones, Brian Setzer & Ann-Margret, The Damned and Bleu.

Best Radio Station on Maui for 2008 - Voted By Readers of Maui Time Weekly

Mana'o Radio and KPOA have won in the past but 2008 brought a wonderful surprise to the hard working crew at KPMW - WILD 105.5 FM upon the opening of Thursday's issue of Maui Time Weekly. It's the publication's annual BEST OF MAUI issue and here's the skinny from Starr Begley:

BEST RADIO STATION

WILD 105.5

Whoo-hoo! To me, this is by far the most exciting vote that's been cast in all of Best of Maui history. But then again, I am extremely biased. As most of you know, every Monday morning I visit Wild 105.5 to do the Ed & Greg Show. Naturally, I've known for a few weeks now that their radio station beat out all the others to win Best of Maui. It's been so hard not to tell the crew down there that all of the hard work that they've put in has really paid off. Maui has noticed! So, to the whole crew at 105.5, congratulations on a great station, exciting programming and kick-ass DJ's. Restless Native is proud to be part of the madness. The Money-Making Monday madness, that's it. [SB]
