Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - December 30, 2009

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

BY SEVEN O'CLOCK THIS MORNING - IT WAS ALL OVER. HAWAII'S BIGGEST AHI AUCTION HAD BLAZED THROUGH THE HIGHEST-GRADE SASHIMI IN LESS THAN AN HOUR. NOW THE TRADITIONAL HOLIDAY DELICACY IS HEADING FOR STORES, RESTAURANTS AND TABLES ACROSS THE STATE AND ACROSS THE GLOBE. THE BIG DADDY THIS MORNING WAS A 270-POUND YELLOWFIN TUNA THAT WENT FOR $10 DOLLARS A POUND. BUYERS AND SELLERS SAY THE SUPPLY IS GOOD AND PRICES SHOULD RANGE FROM ABOUT 14 TO 26 DOLLARS A POUND FOR NEW YEAR SASHIMI.

MAUI POLICE AREN'T REPORTING PRE-HOLIDAY INCIDENTS FROM FIREWORKS. BUT THEY SAY PERMITS ARE SELLING FASTER THAN LAST YEAR AND SALES ARE BRISK. AS OF LAST NIGHT, 113 25-DOLLAR PERMITS HAVE BEEN SOLD IN MAUI COUNTY - THAT MEANS 565 THOUSAND FIRECRACKERS ARE AUTHORIZED TO BRING IN 2010 IN MAUI COUNTY.

ISLAND WEATHER, HAZY WITH NO RAIN IN THE FORECAST. TONIGHT, MOSTLY CLEAR LOWS AROUND 60. TOMORROW- HAZY SUNSHINE AND HIGHS EXPECTED IN THE LOW TO MID 80S. LIGHT WINDS ARE IN THE FORECAST FOR NEW YEARS EVE - SO SMOKE COULD BE A PROBLEM.

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