This Week on The Maui Daily

Akakū: Maui Community Television is honored to announce this week’s host for its news magazine program, The Maui Daily—and admittedly a little star struck. Three-time GRAMMY® nominee Amy Hānaiali‘i lent her voice and her face to this week’s half-hour program that airs daily on Akakū channel 54 at 7 p.m., midnight and 7 a.m.

Hānaiali‘i’s fans and viewers of The Maui Daily will be able to get a small taste of what to expect when she performs at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center’s Castle Theater on Sunday, Nov. 29 at 7:30 p.m. (more…)
