Hawaii Sports Talk, on KCCN 1420-AM, 7:30-8:30 p.m. each Monday, is all about preps. Hosts Barry Villamil and Randy Miyamoto honor athletes of the week (not always the same as the Star-Bulletin, but that's OK), discuss the week's happenings and chat with guests and callers.
More preps on the air: Oceanic Cable announced it will telecast the OIA baseball and girls' basketball championships, both on May 6. Check your listings.
