A Candidate Whose Ads Are Never Off the Air

Channel 110 is a choice spot on Hawaii’s digital cable dial, coming right after Fox News and right before CNN Headline News. These days, it is the home of LL12, a station that will soon devote every minute of every day to one topic: Linda Lingle, a Republican running for the United States Senate.

Just in case there are not enough political advertisements on existing television stations here — and most people say there most certainly are, given the Senate campaign, two Congressional races, and a lively race for Honolulu mayor — Ms. Lingle has created her own cable station. It provides viewers with a feast of Lingle speeches, Lingle advertisements and Lingle endorsements, as well as video issue papers, televised forums and testimonials delivered in 10 of the languages spoken on these islands.
