It ain't gonna happen.


There are only two words you need to remember and recite each night before bed:

"Done" "Deal"

In other words, "Live with it" personally I don't like the new look. It looks too mainlandish...where's the aloha!

Wow. What is the worst case scenario if things do not fall in the favor of the stations? Stripping of the FCC licenses? Do the network programs remain on air and the local news is taken off until the dust is settled? Or are the stations shut down altogether until things are resolved?

If Channel 27's transmitter is where I think it is, it wouldn't matter if they raised their power to a million watts...you're terrain-shadowed by the West Maui mountains and their antenna is down in the dirt. I'm going there tomorrow just to see if the license co-ordinates are correct.

Then they should shut that effin' transmitter down and shoot their signals (KHNL, KFVE, and KGMB) to Ulupalakua instead! Sorry, to express that I'm angry at the moment is a gross understatement.

My confidence in FCC is shattered when they listened to some bunch of environmentalists and have the digital TV transmitter built 100 feet below the height of Haleakala at Ulupalakua. The transmitter should have stayed at Haleakala even when upgraded to receive and send DTV signals.

Done deal.

Done deal doesn't exactly mean a good deal, my dear alleged paying TV subscriber.

Done deal.

Nuff said.

Re: KGMB - KHNL - KFVE "shared services agreement"

But will FCC allow the low-powered relay transmitter station that WAS broadcasting KFVE (now KGMB) on Channel 27 to boost their power so that it can reach the rest of the Maui County, including Molokai?

If Channel 27's transmitter is where I think it is, it wouldn't matter if they raised their power to a million watts...you're terrain-shadowed by the West Maui mountains and their antenna is down in the dirt. I'm going there tomorrow just to see if the license co-ordinates are correct.

But what the Media Council Hawaii is -really- trying to do is this:
"Thus, Media Council Hawai`i reiterates its request that the Commission issue an order directing that Raycom and MCG show cause why a cease and desist order should not be issued to enjoin the implementation of the Agreement and/or revoke their licenses."
From:http://media.ohio.com/documents/KGMB...E.MCHfinal.pdf

The idea behind writing the FCC is from this E-mail I received from Media Council Hawaii.
"It seems that Raycom Media really doesn't care about the Hawaii public. In their rush to secure their hold on 45% of the market revenues, they have shown complete disregard for over the air customers. I'm getting complaints from all over the state. I guess they figure that they reach 96% of hawaii via cable so why worry about the rest. Of course this ignores the fact that they get their license from the FCC to be Broadcasters. The license is supposedly granted so that they serve the public interest, convenience , and necessity. Too bad they don't! We are collecting stories like yours but there will be more of an impact if you take time to complain directly to the FCC. I'm listing the emails of the FCC Commissioners and staff below. Please take time to let them know what is going on and pass on this information to others. We are not giving up on our challenge and I'm still optimistic that when the facts are known, we will prevail. Thanks again for your interest and support.

Aloha,
Chris Conybeare

Who knows...you might get surprised.

But will FCC allow the low-powered relay transmitter station that WAS broadcasting KFVE (now KGMB) on Channel 27 to boost their power so that it can reach the rest of the Maui County, including Molokai?

Or can they order Raycom to transmit KGMB on one of the now KHNL or KFVE sub-channels (e.g., 13-1 or 9-1)?

Can Ulupalakua's transmitter handle one more full digital channel (and have Raycom abandon the low-powered transmitter)?

Are there FCC agents physically in Hawaii investigating the matter, or are they doing it from their DC office?

Re: KGMB - KHNL - KFVE &quot;shared services agreement&quot;

Oh, please. They're being bribed by the TV subscription providers (obviously using the money from their many suc- err, subscribers) to veer their focus away from free OTA TV need.

I don't really believe that the common folk control this country or this world because big business rule and they are the true power and if they want something to happen it will happen.
