The Hawaii Association of Broadcasters has allowed the deconstruction of analog facilities in time for breeding season of the endangered petrel.
Hawaii is turning off analog television a month earlier that the rest of the nation — on Jan. 15 — in order to avoid the Hawaiian petrel breeding season on the island of Maui.
The endangered petrel’s breeding season begins in mid-February. KITV general manager Mike Rosenberg said television stations in Hawaii would have to wait another year to take down the old transmitters atop Haleakala without disturbing the birds.
The Hawaii Association of Broadcasters made the decision to allow the deconstruction of analog facilities in time for breeding season of the birds.
