KGU (760 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in Honolulu, Hawaii, known as "Hawaii Sports Radio Network". It is owned by the Salem Media Group and broadcasts a sports radio format, carrying syndicated programming from the VSiN Radio.[2] The radio studios and offices are in Honolulu's Kalihi district, and its transmitter is in the Kakaako neighborhood.

AM 760 is a United States clear-channel frequency, on which WJR in Detroit is the dominant Class A station. There are only 18 stations on 760 AM within the United States. KGU is far enough away from Detroit that it broadcasts day and night with 10,000 watts, using a non-directional antenna.[3] Programming is also heard on 250 watt FM translator K236CR at 95.1 MHz.
