Cable Television Access in Hawai'i:
Unscrambling the Signals


FOREWORD



This study was prepared in response to Senate Resolution No. 65, Senate Draft 1 (1995). The Resolution directed the Legislative Reference Bureau to study the nonprofit public, education, and government cable access organizations in Hawai'i to determine whether their operations provide the type of access and programming intended by federal and state law. The Bureau was also directed to answer specific issues related to their management, funding, and operation. The Bureau wishes to extend its appreciation to all those who assisted in the study, including the respondents from other access organizations across the United States and in Canada. The Bureau extends special thanks to Sue Buske, Kathleen Schuler, Sanford Inouye, Ras Skelton, Darla Palmer, Richard Turner, Juergen Denecke, Brian Lee, Wendy Arbeit, Bruce Fisher, Prema Qadir, Carol Bain, Ed Coll, Andy Park, and Robbie Alm for their cooperation and assistance.
