                     HOUSE  RESOLUTION

RELATING TO THE HONORING AND COMMENDING OF KITV-4 AND KHON-TV
   FOX2 FOR THEIR ADHERENCE TO ON-TIME PROGRAMMING IN THE STATE
   OF HAWAII. 


 1       WHEREAS, television schedules have not been accurate in our
 2   Aloha State, with news and other programs often starting up to
 3   ten minutes late; and
 4   
 5       WHEREAS, Hawaii television viewers have suffered because
 6   stations not adhering to posted programming schedules instead
 7   subject their audiences to lengthy blocks of television
 8   advertising lasting up to seven minutes each; and
 9   
10       WHEREAS, KITV-4 and KHON-TV FOX2, defying this trend, have
11   recognized consumer needs by providing Hawaii with the same
12   freedom from constant advertising enjoyed by the rest of the
13   U.S.; and
14   
15       WHEREAS, KITV-4 and KHON-TV FOX2 recognize and respect the
16   valuable time of Hawaii's viewers, maintaining programming
17   quality and managing to deliver their product on time in a
18   manner that makes their schedules work for viewers who tape
19   their programming using "VCR Plus+" coding; and
20   
21       WHEREAS, KITV-4 and KHON-TV FOX2's schedules tells visitors
22   and others familiar with on-time scheduling everywhere else in
23   the developed world that Hawaii also values the precious time
24   of its viewers; now, therefore,
25   
26       BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the
27   Twentieth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session
28   of 2000, this House of Representatives hereby honors and
29   commends KITV-4 and KHON-TV FOX2 for their outstanding effort
30   to provide superior television service to the residents of
31   Hawaii, and this House further extends to KITV-4 and KHON-TV
32   FOX2 its warmest, best wishes for continued success in all
33   future endeavors.
