That would be TV station KIKU. They are the Japanese programming station
in Hawaii. Over the last decade though, Korean programming has pretty
much taken over and K-dramas are all the rage. Everbody seems to watch
those. Not me - why the heck would I want to see a soap about mean
Korean mother-in-laws? If you had one of those you'd know what I mean. :-)
