Local sports on Web
By Vicki Viotti

Somewhere, beyond the Rainbows, far-flung Island expatriates who long for local sports chatter can get their fix through the Web and two guys named "Kanaka Al" and "Uncle Charlie."
These are the central characters in "Rainbow 5-0 Sports," a new program on PH1Hawaii.com (www.ph1hawaii.com), a Web radio station. "Kanaka" Al Smith is better known locally as "New York Al" in his AM radio spots on KWAI and KISA; "Uncle" Charlie Doremus, a boyhood buddy from the Big Apple who now lives here, is his sidekick both on the air and the Web.
The show will change every two weeks. Smith promises "an eclectic mix of interviews with athletes and coaches."
