Filed under: Greater Good Radio, Young entrepreneurs, Technology entrepreneurs — admin - March 15, 2008 @ 10:00 am 
Jeff Chung and KBFD TV took an unprecedented leap in the local Hawaii media and grabbed the opportunity to bring Korean and other Asian films and TV shows in to the Islands’ broadcast spectrum. With the introduction of subtitling, Asian programming has become even more popular, not only with Asian-Americans but also the whole community.
Chung’s family-run broadcast company started with hour-weekly broadcasts on KIKU-TV in 1976. Two years later, television broadcasts were increased to four hour weekly on the same channel. In 1986, under FCC license, KBFD TV became a full-powered UHF channel and Hawaii’s only locally-owned independent TV station.
