Mahlon Moore and Skylark, we love you. We'll support you no matter where your journey takes you. The day that the call from Salem Broadcasting was made to Hula's refusing to broadcast a commercial promoting an artist's appearance - because The Breeze is a "family station" - our hearts were broken. What, are mahu born from immaculate conception? Do we not have "family?" How could a radio stationed playing our music, one of the central pieces of our very culture, be so openly prejudicial toward us? Once again, Hawaii's mahu was being singled out and told "we dont like your kind."
T.J. Malievsky's statement that "this is not news" (as reported by Erika Engle's Aug 3 column) is quite wrong. In the family that I have, when one of our own is hurt, when he or she is unfairly singled out and suffers at the hand of another, it demands action and truth. And the fact that this willful and evil reaction took place at the hands of a for-profit national corporation - well, that IS news. BIG NEWS THAT EVERYONE SHOULD BE AWARE OF.
Mahlon and Skylark, thank you for doing the right thing.

It's a bitter pill to swallow! Full on and blatant discrimination for sure. The first thought that came to mind were the signs of "Whites Only". Choosing a style of music to program or a community to service is the right of any radio group but the flagrance in which Mahlon had to deal with reminds me more of a "SALEM WITCH HUNT". Very small minded.
...and bravo.. and thanks for visiting the boards! We love the music that you played and enjoyed the 'background' info and kaona that you'd shared on the many songs you'd shared with us listeners.
Mahlon and I remain in touch with each other. He is redesigning his web site and has his hands full. He has my aloha and support, so as I said earlier....as the dial turns.

Mahalo for asking, a hui hou,
SKylark
Why are we wasting so much time on these recycled no talent burnouts?
Because the rest of us don't share your opinion of them.
At all.
Alright then I guess I have to show proof of my statement...
What has any one of those 2 people done significantly in radio in the last 20years in the way of raising revenue and ratings (VALUE OF A RADIO STATION) for their respective companies. tick tick tick...buzzer. NOTHING
Their is a reason Mahlon bounces around. He is not special or talented. A nice voice is easy to find...I think the phrase is "dime a dozen". Skylark, her time has passed. the sweet sounding boring voice days of the 50's and 60's is over. You can get emotional and disagree but deep inside you know its true. The breeze format, which was largely developed by those two, is outdated. The people of Hawaii are not Tiny Bubbles and sipping Mai tais anymore. My statements though harsh, are true. They are burnouts that did not adjust. Therefore, ho hum, who cares. Just a Hilo mans' opinion.
kimohalliway...Do you know Skylark? What she has done and continues to do for "our" Hawaiian community is priceless. How can you make judgements that are so far off. How long have you been in the radio industry? What's your credentials?
I've worked very close with Sky and she has always been a great source of knowledge filled with aloha and has taught me many things that I consider "priceless".
To me me you sound like a whiner that hides in this forum and is bitter about things that didn't go right in your life.
I could be wrong but, please share your infinite wisdom with all of us on everything you know about RADIO.
