So, we're making this general election information available over the Internet. We're delighted to work with the non-profits and with Akaku to make this happen. Akaku is a pioneer in the cable access community for their innovative use of the internet in providing information and programming. The new programs available are the Maui County Council Candidates Forum, the Live Mayoral Candidates Forum and the State Legislature Candidates Forum.
Viewers can select the individual races they want to view.
All that is required to view these programs is internet access and RealPlayer software, which is available for downloading at no charge. Viewers will also find a variety of other video and audio programs on Akaku s website as well as current news and links for media access for Maui, Moloka i and Lana i. Maui Community Television is a non-profit organization which manages the cable access resources for Maui County. Through partnerships with the County of Maui, the County Council, Maui Community College, the Department of Education and many other organizations, Akaku provides programs that inform and empower the community for civic participation, lifelong learning and free expression.
