By Wayne Harada
Advertiser Staff Writer

Alvin Okami and his family business, KoAloha 'Ukulele, will get national TV exposure again, when CNBC's "Mike on the Money" special airs here at 2 p.m. Thanksgiving Day.

Show host Mike Hegedus taped interviews with Okami and sons Alan and Paul earlier this year for the show that spotlights businesses across America. KoAloha, located in Kapalama, manufactures a range of 'ukulele for both professionals and students.

The holiday special culls footage in a best-of-the-best special airing in prime time on the Mainland (7 p.m. EST).
