Those who consider community-access TV to be must-see TV are surely applauding a state order that bars cable giant Spectrum from booting ‘Olelo’s familiar programming into the “digital Siberia” of higher-numbered channels.

Under the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs’s March 23 decision, ‘Olelo’s community-access programs will remain on the long-established channels of 49, 53, 54 and 55 on Spectrum till 2036; similarly, the neighbor island’s public-access stations would stay put. (And kudos to Hawaiian Telcom, which had already said it would leave the PEG — public, educational and governmental — access channels where they are.)

PEG coverage provides access, for instance, into key City Council and state Legislature hearings — so tune in to stay informed.

‘Roseanne’ gets a presidental boost

President Donald Trump has touted the high TV ratings that accompanied the reboot of “Roseanne,” which premiered Tuesday on ABC to a whopping 18.2 million viewers. Trump, who has a history of closely tracking television ratings, including his own as the host of NBC’s “The Apprentice,” even placed a phone call to Roseanne Barr, who lives on a macadamia nut farm on Hawaii island.

The blue-collar character of Roseanne Conner, who last appeared on the small screen in 1997, has some rich material to mine, offering blunt commentary on today’s sharp political and cultural divisions. And that bodes well for the series’ reboot, slated to run nine episodes.
