PROGRAM GUIDE | AUGUST 2020 | VOL. 39 NO. 8

One of the many things that drew me to public broadcasting was its commitment to universal access to education. In a time of increasing income disparity, this tenet is more timely than ever.

Long before COVID-19 shut down schools, PBS Hawai‘i has routinely served rural and other under-resourced communities that lack digital access (Wi-Fi).

Our over-the-air broadcast network reaches farther than that of local commercial television broadcasters, which find it unprofitable to build the same level of infrastructure.

For us, it’s a matter of mission. Even though we’re also firmly planted in the digital world, we think it’s important that residents of 25 of the 25 most financially disadvantaged communities in the state can receive both our main channel and our curriculum-based PBS KIDS 24/7 channel without having to pay for Wi-Fi, cable TV or satellite service.

All they need is an antenna to receive our programming. The signal is relayed over the air from one inconspicuous transmitter to the next and to the next.

Before the novel coronavirus struck unexpectedly, PBS Hawai‘i began beefing up this transmitter network.

With the support of donors including The Doyle Foundation, McInerny Foundation, Bendon Family Foundation and T-Mobile Foundation, our Chief Engineer

John Nakahira is in the process of replacing and strengthening 11 translators (junior transmitters) on multiple islands. And he’s outfitting our high-power transmitters on O‘ahu and Maui with new modulators that improve audio and video signals.

Among places we particularly aimed to boost service: the remote area of South Point on Hawai‘i Island and communities like Miloli‘i and Hawaiian Ocean View Estates.

To do this, Chief John arranged for our broadcast signal to be delivered to Na‘alehu directly from our O‘ahu facilities via fiber optic cable. From Na‘alehu, the signal is relayed over the air to South Point.

“In the past,” John explains, “the signal would pass through six transmitter relay points on Maui and Hawai‘i Island before finally getting to South Point.” Weather and power issues disproportionately affected South Point. Not anymore!

Generous public support helped cover the cost of fiber-optic installation, and we make monthly cable payments to support the service. In this time of serious income disparity, PBS Hawai‘i intends to continue delivering mind-nourishing programs 24 hours a day, regardless of viewers’ ability to pay.

Strengthening Service to Those Lacking Digital Access

Winona Kapuailohiamanonokalani Desha Beamer, or Aunty Nona as she was fondly called, was an educator, author, hula dancer and a champion of Hawaiian culture, known for her integrity, scholarship and love.

Maui-based filmmaker Tom

Vendetti says he was asked to do the project by his dear friend, Keola Beamer, Aunty Nona’s son. “Even though there have been other films made about her, with basically people talking about her, this film is focused on her telling her own story, along with family members,” Vendetti says.

Included in the film is an excerpt

from Aunty Nona’s 2007 episode of PBS Hawai‘i’s Long Story Short with Leslie Wilcox. She was the first person ever interviewed for the series. You’ll also see rare black and white film of Aunty Nona as a child, dancing hula.

The title of the film, Hawaiiana,

comes from a word Aunty Nona used to describe the very best of all things Hawaiian: the people, their knowledge, culture, wisdom and aloha.

“The wisdom of indigenous cultures is disappearing rapidly around the world. Aunty Nona Beamer was committed to preserving the pure and authentic Hawaiian culture,” Vendetti says. “Her wisdom of spreading aloha around the world is something that everyone should hear. Considering the current cultural issues that we are confronting, I think her message will resonate and offer hope for the world.”

Thursday, August 27 at 9:00 pmPBS HAWAI‘I PRESENTS the world premiere of Hawaiiana,

a brand-new documentary about the late Aunty Nona Beamer

ARTISTS AND PAINTERSTuesday, August 11 at 7:30 pm

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS AUGUST 2020

The process of enjoying art is different for everyone. The process of creating art is just as diverse.

On this Long Story Short with Leslie Wilcox, we feature four local artists and painters, ranging in age and style. Each of these creative minds shares how they approach their work and what inspires them.

O‘ahu’s Jasper Wong and Kamea Hadar are leaders of the collective known as POW! WOW! Hawai‘i. Some of the most visible efforts by the group are the large murals on buildings throughout the Kaka‘ako neighborhood of Honolulu.

Hadar says, “I think my parents definitely instilled the work ethic that I have and then, the reach for the stars kind of attitude that is necessary to be an artist and to do big things like this.”

And according to Wong, “I would just draw all day long. It was always something that I did growing up.”

Another featured artist is Honolulu’s Pegge Hopper. Her paintings of Hawaiian women started as something she did in her spare time. But after being fired from a job, her artwork launched a new career. “I describe myself as more successful than I ever, ever imagined I was going to be,” says Hopper.

You’ll also hear from 88-year-old abstract artist Harry Tsuchidana. The Waipahu, O‘ahu native is still expressing his creative vision using a pretty straightforward approach. “Hollywood wait for inspiration. I chase the buggah,” says Tsuchidana.

CONVENTION COVERAGE NOTICEPBS Hawai‘i will broadcast the PBS NewsHour’s live coverage of the 2020 Democratic National Convention on August 17-20 and the 2020 Republican National Convention on August 24-27. At press time for this program guide, start time and length of each day’s coverage were not known. PBS Hawai‘i will include updated information on coverage on our website, in our weekly newsletter and our social media accounts as more becomes known.
