"Star Trek's" Takei talks about family's time in prison camps

George Takei, known for playing USS Enterprise helmsman Hikaru Sulu on the original "Star Trek" television and movie series, will be the focus of a new satellite radio documentary program.

In "George Takei's America: A Howard 100 News Documentary," Takei  recounts his family's compelling history, retracing with reporter Steve Langford the exact steps he and his family took in Los Angeles in the spring of 1942 when they were rounded up by American soldiers and ordered at gunpoint into Japanese internment camps.

Takei was 5 years old at the time. His family spent four years in those prison camps.

Coach K back on satellite radio

Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski begins his fourth season as co-host of a weekly talk show on satellite radio tonight at 7. "Basketball and Beyond With Coach K" and co-host Dave Sims can be heard Tuesdays at 7 p.m. on Sirius channel 123 and XM Radio channel 144. The two satellite radio companies merged over the summer.

Krzyzewski's first guest will be Jerry Colangelo, managing director of the USA Basketball senior men's program. Krzyzewski coached the U.S. team to the Olympic gold medal this year in Beijing, China.

Andrew FitzPatrick, a spokesman for Sirius XM, said it was company policy not to reveal contract terms with its show hosts.

The typical monthly satellite radio fee is $12.95, though Fitzpatrick said different programming packages and rates could be found online at www.sirius.com or www.xmradio.com.
