In what should be required viewing for all citizens, not just political junkies, ‘Olelo Community Media will launch its “Live at the Legislature” show on Monday at 8:30 a.m. The weekly half-hour show will air at that time on Mondays (Tuesday if a holiday falls on Monday) until the Legislature adjourns in May; the session convenes Wednesday.
“Live at the Legislature” will focus on issues and legislation, with lawmakers appearing weekly to offer perspectives. It will air on Olelo’s channel 49, with live-streaming on www.olelo.org/49 and the Olelo Facebook page. Shows later will be posted on www.youtube.com/olelocm and on the Hawaii Government Public Network Channel 50.
