Long Story Short with Leslie Wilcox
A Year of Revealing and Insightful Conversation
NOVEMBER 2008
Aloha Kakou
Leslie Wilcox, President & CEO
Sometimes, when we Islanders say we’re on “Hawaiian
time,” we mean that we’re taking our sweet time.
But not when it comes to
the digital transition. This time,
“Hawaiian time” means that
we’re moving faster than most
of the nation.
Hawaii’s full-power broadcasters (including PBS Hawaii)
plan to beat the national
deadline of February 17 — by
weeks. January 15 is the date to
remember in Hawaii. On that
day, the federal government is
giving the go-ahead for Hawaii
broadcasters to switch over to
digital-only transmission.
PBS Hawaii will start a
phased digital transition, eventually leaving behind analog
technology, which was groundbreaking in its time. We’ll start
Jan. 15 on Oahu and in Maui
County, moving later to include Hawaii Island and Kauai.
(They’re served by translator
stations and not transmitters,
and therefore not covered
under the federal mandate.)
Digital signals carry better
picture, better sound, more
data, and down the line, will
enable television to be truly
interactive.
PBS Hawaii has been broadcasting in digital (in addition
to our legacy analog) since
September 2006. With the
digital technology, we’re able
to “multi-cast.” We broadcast
a PBS Kids channel as well as
our main programming in both
digital and in high-definition television.
Late this month, on November 25, in preparation for the
analog shut-off, PBS Hawaii will
reduce our analog power by 50
per cent in the Honolulu vicinity.
What does our analog reduction and switch-off mean to
you? Quite possibly, not much.
This change has no consequences for the great majority
of PBS Hawaii viewers.
That’s because most Hawaii
TV viewers no longer receive
programs through analog
broadcast signals. In fact, it’s
estimated that 90% or more
of viewers statewide are cable
or satellite TV subscribers and
therefore are not affected.
However, if you use an old
TV set with “rabbit ears” or an
old roof antenna to capture
our over-the-air broadcast
signals with an old antenna,
you’ll need to take action to
continue to receive our free,
quality programs.
Find out more, in straightforward language, by going to
www.dtv.gov.
Or read the “Digital Dialog”
blog of our head engineer and
Vice-President of Content
Delivery, Steve Komori, at
www.pbshawaii.org and post
questions and comments. Or
we invite you to phone PBS
Hawaii’s viewer services specialist, Christina Kanemoto, at
973-1187 in Honolulu. And
keep watching PBS Hawaii for
new developments.
We’re pleased to work with
our viewers in making the
“Hawaiian time” date on January 15, putting Hawaii near the
head of the nation rather than
lagging behind on this federally
required change.
Mahalo,
What’s Your Favorite PBS Hawaii Program?
“
We Invite You to Share Favorites with the PBS Hawaii Community
[email protected]
“Believe it or not, my favorite is
Clifford, The Big Red Dog. The
show reminds me of the book I
used to read when I was young.
Now, I am a mom of seven and
we all have such a good time
watching Clifford. With PBS
Kids, I am sure about the quality and safety of the programs.
The shows are clean, educational and are very instrumental
in bonding with my kids.”
“I enjoy cooking and I love
good food, that’s why I have
to say I watch Martin Yan’s
Yan Can Cook and Martin Yan’s
Chinatowns. It’s not just fun
and entertaining to watch, but
I have learned a lot from the
show. Martin Yan has made me
more creative and experimental
every time I cook. My family
now enjoys dinner time over
good food.”
“I have always been a fan of
art, specifically theatre, having
been the Chairman of Honolulu
Academy of Arts for six years.
To me, Masterpiece Mystery! is
a wonderful program that promotes good values and superb
performances. Personally, I
have learned how to become
a gentleman because of that
show. That is why I recommend
it to my sons as well.”
“I like Long Story Short with
Leslie Wilcox because it gives
me the opportunity to meet
the people I’ve always wanted
to meet. Leslie brings out the
real personalities behind the
successes of the guests, making it easier for viewers to learn
from their experiences and best
practices. Leslie has such good
people skills, I just can’t imagine the show without her.”

One Year of Revealing
and Insightful Conversation
Long Story Short with Leslie Wilcox | tuesday nights, 7:30pm
W
ith text messaging and email playing such a big role in how we communicate, do you sometimes think good
conversation is hard to come by? You will always have access to a “good talk” Tuesday nights on PBS
Hawaii. As Long Story Short with Leslie Wilcox wraps up its first year, we thought it was a good time to have viewers’
most frequently asked questions answered by the program host and interviewer, Leslie Wilcox.
Leslie Wilcox chats with local
fashion icon Mamo Howell
FAQ: Is there a long or short
story behind the program’s
name?
LW: The show named itself.
All we at PBS Hawaii had to
do was listen to people telling
stories. When someone says
“long story short” in conversation, they’re about to take an
involved storyline and pull out
the key parts for you.
FAQ: There’s been such a wide
range of people interviewed on
Long Story Short. How do you
and your producer go about
selecting the guests?
LW: Show producer Wendy
Suite maintains a long and
growing list of people who’ve
been suggested by our viewers.
The premise of the program is
to reveal the person behind the
public persona. So generally
the guests have made a name
for themselves. You think you
know them. But do you really?
We look for a record of achievement, a compelling personal
story, a history of interesting
choices, engaging conversation, and the willingness to be
responsive and candid. We’re
also interested in getting to
know people from all islands,
with a range of ages, life experience and viewpoints.
FAQ: How is the show different
from a news interview?
LW: Well, I’m not looking for
soundbites. I settle in and want
to get to know the person
across from me. I’m not out to
“lead the witness.” My role is
to draw out the guests and let
them tell their stories in their
own way. It takes longer but it’s
often far more revealing.
FAQ: Which guest’s story surprised you the most?
LW: Without a doubt, the biggest surprise came from ukulele teacher Roy Sakuma. I’d
researched him — talked with
some of his friends and knew
what he’d said in other interviews and in his own biography.
Long Story Short with Leslie Wilcox | tuesday nights, 7:30pm
FAQ: What were some of the
most memorable moments on
the set of Long Story Short?
He had never said openly what
he said on Long Story Short. He
disclosed that he grew up in a
home with serious untreated
mental illness. He explained the
ways in which his childhood
was full of puzzlement and pain.
Later, Roy (pictured above)
said that he hadn’t planned to
reveal what he did. He told me
I didn’t seem to be caught off
guard. But believe me, I was.
LW: Minnijean Brown Trickey
(pictured below right), one of
nine African-American teenagers (the civil rights movement’s
“Little Rock 9”) who integrated
a previously all-white Arkansas
high school in 1957, recalled
plainly that her heart broke as
she was “surrounded by hate.”
Her story so affected our college production students that
they clapped at the end of the
taping, stood in line to shake
her hand, and hugged her.
In Washington State to talk with
retired news anchor Bob Sevey,
we worked on location with an
“ex-pat” production crew of
former Hawaii residents. They
told me they overcame their
awe of Sevey so they could do
the job flawlessly — in tribute
to him, the standards he set
and the story he shared publicly for the first time about his
reasons for leaving television
news.
FAQ: You’ve interviewed people
you knew before and people
you met for the first time. Does
that distinction make a difference?
LW: Oddly enough, I may do a
better job with people I don’t
know very well. I’m a curious
person and like to learn. A
couple of times, with newsmakers I’d covered for many years
as a journalist, I didn’t ask a
question because I already
knew the answer. Of course, I
kicked myself later.
FAQ: Tell us about some of
the PBS Hawaii staff members
who work behind the scenes on
Long Story Short.
LW: The technical crew went
through a learning curve on this
show. Through our partnership
with Sony Hawaii, this was the
first Hawaii show to be shot,
edited and broadcast in highdefinition. HD, dense with data,
Long Story Short with Leslie Wilcox | tuesday nights, 7:30pm
has done a fine job editing the
show. Wendy Suite, as producer,
and Robert Pennybacker, the
exec producer, are committed
to the purity of this program
that consists simply of rich
conversation, TV without bells
and whistles.
behaves differently than familiar standard-definition. Stylist
Chris Jose experimented with
new very sheer make-up. Production veterans Paul Hayashida, Glenn Yamamoto, and
Terrence Quinsaat worked with
college production students
in putting new equipment to
work, blocking shots differently,
re-staging lighting, and mastering phases of production.
Daryl Harada (pictured above)
FAQ: What’s new in year 2 for
Long Story Short?
LW: No end in sight of intriguing people, sharing their stories. I ran into a viewer who said
he thinks of Long Story Short
as Hawaii’s sitting room, where
we all bond over familiar life
experiences, the struggle over
choices, and common values.
Here’s to more of that.ꆱ

Your Support of PBS Hawaii Makes the Difference
A Variety of Ways You Can Contribute to Quality Programming
PBS Hawaii Aloha Diners Club Card:
“Simply Divine”
PBS Hawaii supporter Jessamy
Maraden knows the value of a
good television program. A native
of Southern California, Jessamy
has fond memories of watching
Reading Rainbow in the fourth
grade, and Masterpiece
Classics with her mother.
“I still love watching the Masterpiece series.
My mom used PBS as an instrument to educate and
culture her children – she knew how important it was.
And I watch PBS Hawaii today for the same reason.”
After receiving her Aloha Diner’s Club Card in the mail,
Jessamy was quick to use the valuable discounts.
“I graduated from the University of Hawaii, but then
moved back to California for a few years. Now that I
am back in Honolulu, I can use my Club Card at Planet
Hollywood, one of my favorites back home. And Café
Che Pasta...the Insalata Nicoise tastes simply divine.”
Jessamy chooses to support PBS Hawaii because of
how public television has supported her.

From bottle-feeding to teaching them how to hunt as their mother would have, King hand-reared the brothers and became deeply attached to them in the process.

What makes a person face almost certain death in order to save the lives of others? What gives a person the strength to endure unspeakable acts of torture without losing the will to carry on? Is every person, if put into the same situation, capable of such virtues? Can everyone be a hero?
The film traces the history of the Medal of Honor, from a profile of Sgt. Paul
Smith (pictured), the first soldier to receive a Medal of Honor in the Iraq War, back to its creation during the Civil War. Through intimate accounts of fear and the realities of surviving war, mov
ingly told by living recipients, Medal of Honor explores these extraordinary, almost inconceivable, acts of heroism for which the medal has been awarded. (HD)

Unique to North America, the bald eagle is the continent’s most recognizable aerial predator, with a shocking white head, electric yellow beak and penetrating eyes. Photographed by Emmy-winning cinematographer Neil Rettig, Nature “American Eagle” will tell the story of a year in the lives of these majestic rap-
tors on a breathtaking stretch of the Mis-
sissippi. The latest in camera technologies will give viewers unprecedented high-defi-
nition access into the nests – and into the
skies – with these majestic birds. (e)(HD)

five years after Whitehead began her campaign, the question of what is and what is not acceptable for broadcast television remains a hot issue.

How did five female Army support sol-

Directors Meg McLagan and Daria Sommers give viewers an intimate look at war through the eyes of the first women in U.S. history sent into direct ground combat, despite a policy that bans them from doing so. Through harrowing per-
sonal stories, these women candidly share their experiences in Iraq as well as experi-
ences from their lives back home to form a portrait of the emotional and psycho-
logical effects of war.

7:00 Nature The Wolf That Changed
America In the fall of 1893, an adventu-
ous young man rode out from the salons of New York to the wilds of New Mexico. He went to kill a wolf. Not just any wolf, but an outlaw, the leader of a maraud-
ing, cattle killing pack. But by the time Ernest Thompson Seton finally met the renegade Lobo, the wolf had become
a hero in his eyes. He would write a tale of that encounter that captured the essence of the vanishing wilderness and led both to the establishment of the national park system and the Boy Scout movement in America. In this vivid retelling of the story, the confrontation between Seton and Lobo comes alive, and viewers discover how, together, one man and one wolf set in motion a change in American hearts and minds that is still unfolding.
