Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - April 30, 2008

FROM THE VISIONARY RADIO NEWS CENTER I’M JEFF KING WITH MAUI TV NEWS.

UP, UP AND...UP. CITING INCREASED OPERATING FEES AND HIGHER FUEL COSTS, HAWAIIAN AIRLINES ANNOUNCED THAT IT WILL BE RAISING IT’S FARES. STARTING TODAY THE LOWEST ONE-WAY FARE INTERISLAND IS $54, UP FROM $39 OFFERED JUST ONE MONTH AGO WHEN ALOHA WAS STILL IN SERVICE. HAWAIIAN WILL ALSO BE CHARGING A $25 FEE FOR A SECOND BAG ON MAINLAND FLIGHTS.

THE MAUI NEWS VERSION OF THE STORY SAYS A RICE-BUYING PANIC STARTED - APPARENTLY - BY MEDIA IS THE CAUSE OF SHORTAGES AT DISCOUNT WAREHOUSES, AND IT SENT SALES SOARING. FOODLAND SUPERMARKET SPOKESPERSON SHERYL TODD SAID RICE SALES INCREASED 700 PERCENT OVER THE PAST WEEK RESULTING IN OUTAGES AT SOME OF THE COMPANY’S 30 STORES STATEWIDE. SHE SAID THERE IS NO SHORTAGE. LATER TONIGHT, THE ALL-NEW VERSION OF MAUI TV NEWS COVERS THE STORY AND THE REASONS BEHIND THE SHORTAGE, IN DEPTH. LOOK FOR IT AT MAUITVNEWS-DOT-COM.

ISLAND WEATHER…..TONIGHT, ISOLATED SHOWERS WITH LOWS IN THE MID 60S. SCATTERED SHOWERS TOMORROW WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 80S.

FROM THE VISIONARY RADIO NEWS CENTER, I'M JEFF KING.
