A recent inductee to the Nevada Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame intends to give Big Island television viewers a present on Christmas Day.
"I'm bringing a new model of programming," said Kevin Culbertson, founder of Nevada-based Hilo Hawaii Broadcasting Ltd. The company has purchased two low-power television construction permits for $40,000 from Louisiana-based businessman Dean Mosely. One station will be built in Hilo and the other in Ketchikan, Alaska. Hilo viewers will need an old-fashioned "rabbit-ears" TV antenna to receive the signal, which will broadcast on Channel 5.

Re: New Hilo TV station for Christmas

I wish this guy luck in getting local advertisers to buy time on his station. He may eventually end up with going either all religious (seems like religious stations survive without much local advertising) or do what he doesn't want to.... sell blocks of time for infomercial programming. Hopefully for Hilo viewers they get more than very old re-runs of TV shows long gone.
