Aloha
This is our 13th e-zine to date, and we are in the midst of a bunch of changes.
Maybe you guys have noticed, but this site has somewhat been neglected, but that will change in the next month or so.
We have been building a new site, Big Island Live Big Island Live is dedicated to the people of Hawaii, providing an outlet for multimedia coverage of breaking news and live entertainment on the Big Island of Hawaii.
If you have any questions about advertising on our site, or in our e-zine, contact Contact Leah, she will be glad to answer any questions you might have about advertising schemes and the whatnot.
Big Island Live
“Bringing together teams of professionals from the Big Island community, these broadcasts will promote local businesses and individuals” says Seti Orion, Executive Director, Big Island Live Broadcasting Network. “The network will focus on live broadcast capabilities,” he added, “as well as have other locally produced shows covering a wide variety of topics.”Our first live broadcast was on August 1st, and we interviewed Dr Lorrin Pang, on the subject of Depleted Uranium. Dr Pang is appointed by the county council to oversee the testing at Pohakuloa.
The rebroadcast of this interview, will be on public access across the state, and on our website.

Big Island residents are invited to call in and be part of the show for this live broadcast via the internet on Big Island Live. Calls will be taken at (808)-769-0998. This edition of Big Island Live will be hosted by Kristine Kubat.
Pete Hoffmann will be first up at 5:30, and he will be talking about the proposed restructuring of the County Council. Joining him will be former council chairman, Angel Pilago. There is a public hearing coming up on September 14th about the restructuring. Callers should limit their questions to this subject.
Next up is Dominic Yagong, and he will be addressing the proposed sale of the Hamakua Sugar lands that the county acquired in 1994 for delinquent taxes from Hamakua Sugar Company. This sale will be addressed in the upcoming council meeting in Kona. Again callers should try to limit their questions to this subject.
Locally produced shows, such as surf footage, music videos and interviews with prominent Hawaiian figures and kupuna will also air after the interviews, and be available for download.
The network will eventually bring to the viewer live news breaking stories as they happen on the Big Island.
