UPDATED 10/21/2016: Trying to tune in to the Billy Kenoi trial? Ain’t gonna happen.

Third Circuit Court Judge Dexter Del Rosario killed the live-streaming that happened when the trial began this week.

That’s what we hear from at least two local television stations.

Update: Chief Clerk Lester Oshiro called Friday morning to give us the reason:

“Although during breaks and when proceedings were not in session, cameras should be turned off as well as audio, reports came back that the picture was blanked out for those watching the live-streaming on the internet but audio was coming through. And that concerned the judge with respect to potentially infecting the trial and possibly leading to mistrial.”

He continued: “The judge suspended live-streaming. The judge did not suspend extended coverage, and so extended coverage is still available and of course it’s going on.”

Televisions stations will likely depend on a pool feed of the proceedings.

Meanwhile, Hawaii County’s Na Leo TV is broadcasting the trial a few hours delayed every day, and then replaying the entire day’s proceedings that evening.

The station is also putting the file on its Web Site Video on Demand carousel for people to view.

“We are editing the footage to conform with the judges wishes, and that will allow us to get the proceedings on the air as soon as possible,” says Na Leo President and CEO Stacy K. Higa. “So viewers can watch what is happening, just a few hours after the fact.”

He adds that it’s sorta like “Monday Night Football” back in the 1980s.

Old-timers know exactly what he means.

Lots of folks were digging the live-stream, with all that talk of alcohol and pCards. Kinda like O.J.-lite.

Kenoi is on trial for four counts of … well, you know.
