KESU-LP, VHF analog channel 6, was a low-powered television station licensed to Kauai, Hawaii, United States. Inspired by KZND-LP in Anchorage, Alaska, former TV weatherman Jeff Chang began his own low-power station on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. Taking advantage of the station's audio signal broadcasting on 87.75 MHz, the station marketed itself as a radio station and aired a mixture of Hawaiian music and lite AC music. KESU-LP was among the earliest channel 6 radio stations in the United States. This was possible due to a loophole in FCC regulations:
Sec. 73.653 Operation of TV aural and visual transmitters.
The aural and visual transmitters may be operated independently of each other or, if operated simultaneously, may be used with different and unrelated program material.
KLOA-LP, VHF analog channel 6, was a low powered television station licensed to Inyokern, California, United States.

According to the Federal Communications Commission, television stations must operate both the audio and video carriers; however, the carriers are not required to "accompany" each other, meaning that the audio and video can operate independently of one another. This meant that KLOA-LP needed not broadcast any particular image, as long as they broadcast a video signal.
