Justin Smith | University Advancement | 4 October 2005 Throughout October, BYU Television is helping BYU-Hawaii celebrate its golden anniversary by airing devotionals and special programming related to the Laie campus.

"We are excited to be able to run these programs for the 50th anniversary," said Jim Bell, manager of marketing and communications for BYUTV. "BYU-Hawaii provides the diversity in our programming that broadens our appeal to the world."

As a television program that reflects our faith, we want to show the international flavor" of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
