Alema Harrington will be the new sports director at KHON-TV2, starting sometime next month, sources told the Star-Bulletin yesterday.

Harrington, who worked for KSL-TV in Salt Lake City from 1996 to 2002, declined to comment yesterday. He returned to Hawaii two months ago, and has been working on projects for the Hawaii Sports Network and the Hawaiian Islanders arena football team.

The Punahou and Brigham Young graduate was the weekend sports anchor at KHNL, the Honolulu NBC affiliate, from 1994 to 1996 and was previously sports director at KCCN radio.

While at Salt Lake City, Harrington also hosted the weekly shows of BYU football coach Gary Crowton and basketball coach Steve Cleveland.

Harrington replaces Jai Cunningham, who moves to news.
