SUNSET ON THE BEACH
Isle 'Lost' fans will see season premiere first
Hawaii's "Lost" fans once again will have the chance to see the season premiere in advance of the rest of the viewing nation -- at Sunset on the Beach Sept.30.
This is the third year that the ABC show has celebrated the beginning of a new season on Waikiki Beach. Last year's premiere packed the sandy area in front of the outdoor screen, despite intermittent rain. Cast members will walk the red carpet beginning at 5:30 p.m., with the show to begin at 7.
The new ABC show "The Nine" will follow the "Lost" screening. Both shows debut on television Oct. 4.
