Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - March 31, 2011

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

FROM NOW ON IT COULD BE KNOWN AS ALEXANDER AND BALDWIN AND ACKMAN AND MCGUIRE. TODAY A&B ANNOUNCED THAT NEARLY `10 PERCENT OF THEIR COMPANY HAS BEEN PURCHASED BY A GROUP OF MAINLAND INVESTORS WHO SAY THEY SEE THE FUTURE PROFITABILITY OF THE COMPANY. THE NEWS SENT A&B'S STOCK PRICES WAY UP.

SPEAKING OF "UP," MATSON NAVIGATION HAS HIKED ITS FUEL SURCHARGE THE HIGHEST IT'S BEEN SINCE THE LAW ALLOWED THEM TO TACK ON THE CHARGE. NOW NEARLY HALF OF THE TOTAL COST OF SHIPPING GOODS FROM THE MAINLAND WILL PAY FOR FUEL - 43.5 PERCENT TO BE EXACT. THE NEW RATES GO INTO EFFECT MAY FIRST.

THIS MORNING A 6-POINT-4 MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE STRUCK UNDER THE ISLAND NATION OF TONGA. EARLY REPORTS INDICATE NO DAMAGE, INJURIES AND NO TSUNAMI WAS GENERATED.

ISLAND WEATHER - A HIGH SURF WARNING ALONG NORTH SHORES MAY BRING SETS AS HIGH AS 20 FEET . OTHERWISE, STILL BREEZY. TONIGHT LOOK FOR LOWS IN THE 60S. MOSTLY SUNNY WITH HIGHS TOMORROW IN THE LOW TO MID 80S.
