The Vegetarian Society of Hawaii (VSH) presents "Vegetarian", a weekly one hour Public Access TV program on Maui’s Calabash Cable Channel 52.

Timing is variable with regard to both starting times and program length, so if you have a VCR, your best bet is to set the timer for weekly recording on Tuesdays from 7:55 PM to 9:05 PM, or Wednesdays 7:25AM to 8:35AM. Although the tapes are in digital format, it's also advisable to record in short play (SP) two-hour mode to avoid signal deterioration. It’s hard to know for sure which tape is playing when, and since VSH has none of them available for sale, the only way you can get the ones you may want to keep is to record all of them, and tape over the ones you don’t want later. Akaku plays each tape four times within a month, and the next one four times in the following month.

The following tapes will show between 12/31/08 and 7/31/09 on Wednesdays at 9:30 P.M. and repeat on Thursdays at 5:30 A.M. on Calabash Channel 52  http://www.akaku.org/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=78
