"Don was a longtime friend," said Keith Haugen, producer and co-host of the show, in a news release. "To those of us who have shared his Waikiki for so many years, he is and always will be the 'chairman of the board.'"

Ho died on Saturday of heart failure at age 76.

"Music of Hawaii" is a one-hour program devoted to Hawaiian music.

"We'll play the music of Don Ho, old and new, Hawaiian and non-Hawaiian," said co-host Carmen Haugen.

KIPO can also be heard on the Internet at www.hawaiipublicradio.org and on Oceanic cable.
