This didnt last I don't remember channel M but I vagely recall when Hilo's Channel 9 (KPUA TV as it was known then, usually a translator for KGMB TV) did a short live local newscast from Hilo.... In the early 1980s Hilo's KHBC Channel 2 had some kind of local program before that station was absorbed by KHNL and became a translator for that station.

I remember the days when network TV programs were delayed a week... ngs that were shown live now and then in the late 60s were sports shows... in those days even the network news was not satellite live.. videotapes were flown in and the national news snippets usually made the local 10PM news... I remember stuff like the Huntley-Brinkley Report and the CBS Evening News being played at 11:30 PM or midnight on our local affiliates.... However by around 1975 the network evening news were beamed in by satellite and delayed by the local stations to be shown at a decent time instead of late in the night. MEL http://www.lava.net/~macpro
