KALO, which signed on the air July 9, 1999, is one of six stations in Honolulu that air religious programming, the other five being KWHE, KAAH-TV, KWBN, KKAI and KUPU. KALO's allocation channel, like that of KWBN and PBS outlet KHET, is reserved for non-commercial educational use, and as such, the station depends on viewer donations for support.

Digital television

On January 15, 2009, KALO became channel 38 digital when the digital transition was completed.[1] It is also the same virtual channel on PSIP.

On April 13, 2017, the FCC announced that KALO was relocated to RF channel 18[2] on June 21, 2019[3] as a result of the broadcast incentive auction.[4]
