A few weeks ago during a weekend getaway staycation to Kona, I was able to see for the first time with my own eyes, KBFD TV in high definition on the Neighbor Islands. KBFD now has a new channel statewide in HD on Spectrum cable; Channel 2 and 1002.
Many have probably seen our half page ads promoting our statewide coverage in HD in the Star Advertiser. We are also promoting our Facebook page KBFD TV and having giveaways on the social media. Please “like” us on Facebook for your chance to win a Korean Drama DVD set with English subtitles. Our Facebook page will have detailed information on current dramas and other entertainment information.
