January 01, 1970

Not to be confused with KNHL.

KHNL (channel 13) is a television station in Honolulu, Hawaii, United States, serving the Hawaiian Islands as an affiliate of NBC and Telemundo. It is owned by Gray Television alongside CBS affiliate KGMB (channel 5). The two stations share studios on Waiakamilo Road in downtown Honolulu; KHNL's transmitter is located in Akupu, Hawaii. KHNL is also rebroadcast on the island of Hawaiʻi, Maui, and Kauaʻi.

The present station on channel 13 began broadcasting July 4, 1962, as KTRG-TV, an independent station owned by the Watumull family. In 1967, Richard Eaton's United Broadcasting Company purchased the station. The call letters were changed to KIKU-TV and the format to primarily Japanese-language shows. In addition to serving Hawaii's Japanese-language community, the station gained notice in the wider market for its telecast of sumo wrestling as well as tokusatsu series, particularly Android Kikaider (better known in Hawaii as Kikaida).

A general partnership of investors from California and Hawaii, as well as Japan's TV Asahi, acquired KIKU-TV in 1979. In 1981, channel 13 significantly reduced its Japanese-language broadcasting, though it continued to air programs in the language into the 1990s, and became a general-entertainment independent. Under the management of future Honolulu mayor Rick Blangiardi, in 1984 the station renamed itself KHNL; it then added coverage of University of Hawaiʻi athletics as well as an affiliation with Fox in 1986. A limited amount of Japanese-language programming continued to air into the early 1990s, shortly after the Providence Journal Company acquired the station.

In 1994, the acquisition of KHON-TV, Honolulu's number-one station and an NBC affiliate, by Fox-linked SF Broadcasting portended an affiliation switch, which ultimately took place on January 1, 1996, with KHNL changing from Fox to NBC. As a result, in April 1995, KHNL began airing nightly newscasts. Despite luring several high-profile names in local TV news, the station struggled to gain ratings. Providence Journal merged with Belo Corporation in 1997; Belo then divested KHNL to Raycom Media in 1999. Raycom led the consolidation of KHNL and KGMB's news into Hawaii News Now in 2009; the combination became a serious challenger to KHON-TV, primarily on the strength of KGMB's existing news viewership. Gray acquired Raycom in 2019.

KHNL's second and sixth subchannels are relayed on Kailua-Kona–licensed KFVE (channel 6) and Wailuku-based KLEI (channel 21).

Channel 13 in the 1950s edit

Main article: KITV § KHVH-TV: Kaiser's channel 13

Channel 13 was the last of Honolulu's original five TV allocations to receive any interest, even though channels 2 and 4 each had two applicants.[2] Territorial Telecasters, a group linked to radio woman Christmas Early, filed for the channel in December 1952,[3] only to abandon its bid within months and formally withdraw it in June.[4]

In October 1956, industrialist Henry J. Kaiser applied for channel 13 after also requesting authority to build a new Honolulu radio station.[5] The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted a construction permit in December,[6] but this was stayed between January and April 1957 following a protest by KULA-TV (channel 4) on economic grounds.[7][8]

On May 5, 1957, KHVH-TV began broadcasting on channel 13. Airing from Kaiser's Hawaiian Village Hotel, it was the first station to broadcast color television in Hawaii. KHVH-TV was an independent station that lacked network affiliation or even a studio camera; it was primarily a movie station, scheduling three to four feature films a day.[8] In May 1958, Kaiser acquired KULA-TV;[9] the two stations merged as KHVH-TV on channel 4, retaining KULA-TV's affiliation with ABC, at midnight on July 15, 1958.[10]

Early years edit

KTRG-TV: The Watumull years edit

David Watumull, through the Hawaiian Paradise Park Corporation, applied for channel 13 in March 1962.[11] Simultaneously, Watumull purchased KOOD (990 AM) and changed its call letters to KTRG.[12]

The construction permit was granted on April 27, 1962,[13] and KTRG-TV began telecasting on July 4, 1962; it was more than five hours later than advertised due to technical difficulties with the transmitter and received an assist from the three other Honolulu TV stations to get on the air the first night.[14] Studios were on Kalakaua Avenue.[13] In addition to syndicated programs, KTRG-TV broadcast some local productions. One of these was high school quiz show The Challengers, which debuted in 1963 and was originally moderated by sportscaster Harry Kalas.[15] Another was a local version of the children's program Romper Room.[16] However, the station lost money and was operating on a part-time basis.[17]: 61 

KIKU-TV: The Japanese-language years edit

Watumull filed in January 1966 to sell KTRG-TV to Richard Eaton, owner of the United Broadcasting Company, for an initially agreed sales price of $700,000 (later revised to $550,000); Watumull kept the radio station.[18][19] Eaton's programming plans for channel 13 attracted scrutiny at the FCC, as he sought to convert channel 13 into a station broadcasting Japanese-language programming;[20] In October, the commission designated the deal for a hearing on two issues: the proposed conversion to Japanese-language programming and Eaton's past record, as several other United stations had received short-term license renewals. The commission worried that Eaton would have difficulty controlling a station in far-flung Honolulu given the supervision issues that had arisen at other United stations.[21] By January 1967, the station proposed a format consisting of 50 percent Japanese-language and 50 percent English-language programming.[22] With the deal languishing, Hoover Tateishi, a longtime Hawaii broadcaster who had been part of Eaton's bid, resigned in order to program two hours a week of Japanese-language programs on channel 13.[17]: 77 

While the FCC's ruling on the matter was pending, Friendly Broadcasting sued Hawaiian Paradise Park Corporation in May 1967, alleging that Watumull had broken his contract to sell KTRG-TV to Eaton and was talking with another party who wished to buy the station for a greater purchase price. Watumull claimed he was able to do so because the contract lapsed after a year without FCC approval.[23] However, judge Cyrus Nils Tavares issued a ruling that June 30 that the sales contract was still binding.[24] Hearing examiner Thomas Donahue ruled in favor of Eaton's purchase of KTRG-TV in July 1967, noting that Eaton's poor track record had come from his business model of converting the "dogs and cats" of stations into viable broadcast properties.[17] The sale was then effectuated; after the sale concluded, Hawaiian Paradise Park sued its Washington attorney for malpractice.[24]

Meanwhile, on October 1, KTRG-TV returned to the air as KIKU-TV, with Tateishi as general manager.[25][26] The new call letters represented the Japanese name for the chrysanthemum flower.[27]

I thought, this will do it. The plot was simple, the monsters were ugly, the actors were young, and the theme song was catchy.

While remaining rooted in Japanese-language programming imported from Japan, KIKU-TV slowly broadened its appeal. In 1968, it began nightly telecasts of sumo wrestling;[29] color telecasting began in 1969.[30] The station introduced subtitles on its Japanese-language programs in 1970, which proved popular and expanded to having half of all programs subtitled by 1975.[27] Another channel 13 specialty was children's programming; it aired such tokusatsu programs as Kamen Rider, Rainbowman, and Android Kikaider.[27][31] The success of the latter was particularly noteworthy; the show beat Sesame Street in the ratings, and it was noted in an article in Time magazine.[28] In 1971, the station moved from Kalakaua Avenue to studios on Puuhale Road.[32]

From Japanese to English edit

Mid-Pacific Television Associates ownership edit

In 1979, Mid-Pacific Television Associates was approved to buy KIKU-TV for $2.7 million; the general partnership featured two consortia of investors, one local and one headed by the Cushman family of San Diego, as well as Japanese network TV Asahi with a 20 percent stake.[33][34] Despite the presence of TV Asahi in the ownership group, major changes in 1981 led the station's programming away from Japanese-language shows. On June 29, the station doubled the length of its broadcast day and switched to shows mostly in English as Hawaii's only general-entertainment independent station. Japanese programming remained at noon and 10 p.m., times when management believed its primarily older viewers would still tune in. The programming change was met with some dismay by senior citizens and the Japanese program at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa (UH), but it also was in line with declining Japanese fluency and immigration in Hawaii.[35] A 1998 journal article by Shinji Uozumi suggested that another reason was recent instability in the Japanese yen. Between January 1977 and October 1978, the yen strengthened, going from 271 to the dollar to 176 to the dollar and increasing the prices for Japanese programming as paid by the U.S. station.[36] Joanne Ninomiya, who had been KIKU's general manager since 1969,[37] left in January 1981 due to the proposed changes and then began a venture broadcasting Japanese-language shows on cable.[38] In addition to syndicated programming and the remaining Japanese-language shows, channel 13 also began offering newscasts seven days a week on November 1, 1981.[39] It increased its transmitter power, improving its signal.[40] However, some viewers in the Japanese community refused to watch the station after removing much of the programming that catered to their needs.[41] In a show of the impact KIKU had on non-Japanese-speaking viewers, a Hawaiian woman, A. T. Ko-Opuna, started an unsuccessful petition-writing campaign to urge the FCC to support expanded Japanese-language broadcasting on the station.[36]: 88 

 
Rick Blangiardi served as general manager of KHNL from 1984 to 1989 and returned in 2008 when KGMB and KHNL consolidated.

The largest changes, however, came after Rick Blangiardi, a former University of Hawaiʻi assistant football coach who had worked at KGMB-TV, was named general manager in February 1984. Blangiardi fired 24 employees; he brought with him 13 employees from KGMB and increased the staff size from 48 to 54.[41] The news department was immediately disbanded as a business decision,[42] while programming was upgraded. Blangiardi also changed the station's call sign from KIKU-TV to KHNL, after Honolulu's airport code. Japanese-language shows continued to air from 10 p.m. to midnight, but other than that, the station was operating as a full-time general-entertainment independent that branded itself as a "news alternative" and the "free movie channel".[43] KHNL also began a heavy schedule of local sports telecasts, including next-day broadcasts of University of Hawaiʻi football; sports brought viewers and increased advertising revenue.[44] However, the station still lost money because it reinvested its profits in improvements, especially production equipment for remote sports broadcasts.[41]

King Broadcasting ownership and Fox affiliation edit

In February 1986, the King Broadcasting Company of Seattle purchased KHNL from Mid-Pacific Television Associates at a time when the local investors who owned 30 percent of the station were facing financial pressures.[45] It was King Broadcasting's first independent station, as it owned three NBC affiliates plus a CBS affiliate on the Mainland.[46] After the King sale, Joanne Ninomiya returned to the station, particularly assisting with the introduction of subtitles to KHNL's long-running sumo telecasts.[47] Her JN Productions also supplied six hours of Japanese-language shows on Sundays and a daily newscast from Japan.[48]

KHNL became Hawaii's first affiliate of Fox in October 1986.[49] The station also began expanding its reach with translators on Hawaii's other islands; by 1987, it was broadcasting on Maui and Kauaʻi,[50] and in 1989, it began broadcasting its programs on KHBC-TV (channel 2) in Hilo, Hawaii, which King Broadcasting purchased after a previous attempt to operate the station on an independent basis failed the previous year.[51] The Maui translator was replaced with full-power KOGG (channel 15), which began broadcasting from Haleakalā on August 22, 1989.[52]

In 1992, the Providence Journal Company acquired King Broadcasting; Blangiardi, who had been promoted to running Seattle's KING-TV in 1989, was fired from his post there immediately.[53] By this time, on the strength of Fox programming and UH athletics, the station was experiencing success. A Nielsen ratings study found it to be the fourth highest-rated independent station in prime time in the United States.[54] Under Providence Journal ownership, the station rebranded to "Fox 13" in January 1993;[55] later that year, it began programming KFVE "K5" (channel 5) under a time brokerage agreement.[56] K5 became the new broadcaster for UH athletics in January 1994, providing additional opportunities for live broadcasts.[57]

Japanese-language programming disappeared from KHNL's schedule in 1993 after JN Productions began programming KHAI-TV (channel 20), which already primarily broadcast shows in Japanese, and moved its cable programs there.[58] That station then changed its call sign to KIKU.[59]

Switch to NBC edit

In August 1994, Burnham Broadcasting announced it would sell NBC affiliate KHON-TV (channel 2) and two other stations to SF Broadcasting, a joint venture between Savoy Pictures and Fox (the network owning a voting stock in Savoy), with the stations to switch their affiliations to Fox.[60] However, the deal languished for months at the FCC because NBC was challenging the structure of SF's purchase of a fourth Burnham station, WLUK-TV in Green Bay, Wisconsin. KHNL announced in early November 1994 that it was setting up a local news department.[61] On November 21, KHNL and NBC reached an affiliation agreement, with the effective date to be determined as part of the Burnham–SF transaction sale process.[62] The news department launched on April 17, 1995, with the station rebranding to "Hawaii News8" and using its cable channel number instead of channel 13.[63] The affiliation switch took place at midnight on January 1, 1996.[64]

In 1997, Belo acquired the Providence Journal Company. However, it found that there was no synergy between KHNL and its clusters of stations in Texas, the Pacific Northwest, and the mid-Atlantic states and put the station up for sale, along with KASA-TV in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in May 1999.[65] The Albuquerque and Honolulu operations were purchased by Raycom Media for $88 million.[66] Raycom president John Hayes was familiar with KHNL, as he had been the vice president of television at the Providence Journal Company prior to its merger with Belo.[67] With the November 1999 legalization of duopolies, Raycom acquired KFVE outright; the deal was approved on December 29, 1999, creating what Raycom called the first legal duopoly in the United States.[68]

Digital broadcasting from KHNL and its satellites began with the launch of digital facilities for KHBC-TV in Hilo in May 2002.[69] KHNL-DT in Honolulu was activated on January 1, 2003.[70] In late 2008, KHNL relocated from its studios on Sand Island Access Road (Route 64/Route 640) and the Puuhale Road offices to a new facility on Waiakamilo Road. The move allowed KHNL to consolidate station operations in one facility; what had been KFVE's building prior to the 1993 operating agreement had housed the news department since its launch, while sales and back-office departments worked out of the Puuhale offices. PBS Hawaiʻi then moved into the building.[71]

KHNL, KHBC-TV, and KOGG discontinued analog broadcasting on January 15, 2009, the date on which full-power television stations in Hawaii transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts. The transition in Hawaii had been brought forward from the original February 17 national switch date—itself later delayed to June—because of concern that the dismantling of existing transmitter towers atop Haleakalā would affect the mating season of the endangered Hawaiian petrel, which begins in February.[72] All three stations opted to remain on their pre-transition digital channels of 35, 22, and 16, respectively.[73]

Consolidation with KGMB edit

On August 18, 2009, Raycom and MCG Capital Corporation (owner of CBS affiliate KGMB) entered into a shared services agreement (SSA) under which KGMB's operations, including its news department, would be combined with KHNL and KFVE in the latter's facility. KGMB and KFVE would effectively swap licenses and channel numbers, moving CBS programming to channel 5—which Raycom owned directly—while KFVE would move from channels 5 to 9 and fall under MCG Capital's ownership.[74][75] The move would lead to the elimination of a third of the stations' combined staff.[76][77]

The agreement came about primarily for economic reasons. Where the state's TV stations had taken in $68 million in revenue in 2008, the Great Recession was predicted to reduce that figure to $48 million in 2009.[78] Raycom president and CEO Paul McTear noted that in light of an "economic reality ... that this market cannot support five traditionally separated television stations, all with duplicated costs", the agreement would preserve the operations of the three involved stations. He said the SSA would "preserve three stations that provide important and valuable local, national and international programming to viewers in Hawaii".[79] The combined operation would reduce its headcount from 198 to 130; KGMB's management, including general manager Blangiardi, would run KGMB and KHNL.[76] The structure of the deal, particularly the channel 5–9 swap seen as an end-run around a rule that prohibited common ownership of two of the four highest-rated stations in the market, led to criticism from media watchdog groups and a formal opposition being filed with the FCC.[75][80] On October 26, 2009, KGMB and KHNL began presenting joint newscasts under the banner Hawaii News Now.[80]

In November 2016, the Hawaii News Now stations and Raycom stations in 22 additional markets discontinued use of Nielsen ratings in favor of other methods of audience research. One reason was that, unlike larger Mainland markets, Honolulu was still measured by Nielsen by means of a diary system instead of meters that electronically track ratings habits. Of 11,400 diaries sent out in one Honolulu market survey, only 914 were returned.[81]

Sale to Gray Television edit

On June 25, 2018, Atlanta-based Gray Television announced it had reached an agreement with Raycom to merge their respective broadcasting assets (consisting of Raycom's 63 existing owned-and/or-operated television stations, including KGMB and KHNL), and Gray's 93 television stations) under the former's corporate umbrella. In the cash-and-stock merger transaction, valued at $3.6 billion, Gray shareholders would acquire preferred stock currently held by Raycom. Because Raycom operated three stations in the Honolulu market, the companies were required to sell either KHNL, KGMB or KFVE to another station owner in order to comply with FCC ownership rules.[82][83][84][85]

On November 1, 2018, Nexstar Media Group (owner of KHNL-TV) announced that it would acquire KFVE and the licenses of former KGMB-TV satellites KGMD-TV and KGMV from American Spirit Media for $6.5 million. However, Raycom retained the K5 brand, call letters, and programming (except for KFVE's MyNetworkTV affiliation).[86][87][88][89]

The sale of KFVE to Nexstar was approved by the FCC on December 17;[90] the Gray-Raycom merger was approved three days later.[91] The sale was completed on January 2, 2019.[92] In part because of the merger and with a successor lined up, Blangiardi stepped down from running KGMB and KHNL in 2020 and mounted a successful campaign for mayor of Honolulu.[93]

News operation edit

Starting a newsroom edit

Even prior to signing an affiliation agreement with NBC, KHNL announced in November 1994 its intention to begin producing newscasts sometime in 1995. Providence Journal decided to make KHNL the first tapeless TV newsroom in the United States with all-digital editing equipment.[61] While advertising was run immediately to search for news talent, the station made headlines within weeks by poaching a string of top anchors and reporters from Hawaii's other television stations. The first was Dan Cooke, who had been anchoring the news at KITV since 1987.[94] Another KITV employee soon followed: sports director Robert Kekaula, who as part of moving to KHNL would also become a presence on KFVE's UH athletics broadcasts.[95] These were part of a string of defections from KHON, KITV, and KGMB;[96] in total, those three stations lost 16 on- and off-air staff to the new KHNL news operation.[97] KHNL leased KFVE's Sand Island Road studios from its owner to provide space for the news department.[98]

On April 17, 1995, Hawaii News8 launched with a prime time newscast at 9 p.m. The program was simulcast on KFVE and featured a fast-paced style.[99][100] News broadcasts expanded that year with the addition of a 10 p.m. newscast on June 19, followed by the debut of a 5 p.m. newscast on July 24[101] and a 6 p.m. newscast on November 30.[69] Upon joining NBC, the station added a two-hour weekday morning newscast from 5 to 7 a.m. on January 2, 1996.[102] The station's newscasts, however, failed to find ratings success in spite of NBC's strength in entertainment programming in the late 1990s.[103] By 1999, both Cooke and Kekaula had returned to KITV.[104] In 2007, even though KFVE was still the official station of UH athletics, KHNL ceased airing regular sports segments in its newscasts and proceeded to lose both of its sportscasters.[105]

KHNL also produced some newscasts specifically for KFVE. When KHNL became an NBC affiliate, K5 exclusively aired the 9 p.m. news, but it was canceled effective August 3, 1997, because of frequent sports preemptions and a lack of ratings and resources.[106] A newscast in that time period was reinstated in 2004,[107] and a 6:30 p.m. newscast on K5 was added in January 2008.[108] On December 22, 2008, with the move to Waiakamilo Road, KHNL became the first television station in Hawaii to begin broadcasting its local newscasts in high definition; the KFVE newscasts were included in the upgrade.[69]

Hawaii News Now edit

Main article: Hawaii News Now

After the consolidation of KGMB and KHNL news was announced, the combined newscast debuted as Hawaii News Now on October 26, 2009. The two stations changed the times of some of their early evening newscasts; both stations broadcast at 5 and 10 p.m. with KHNL presenting news at 5:30 and KGMB at 6 p.m.[109] Most of the on-air personalities came from KGMB, with just four KHNL on-air employees remaining with Hawaii News Now.[110] Wayne Harada, writing for The Honolulu Advertiser, noted that the choice of KGMB personalities likely owed to the ability to remove highly paid veterans from the combined staff and rely on KGMB's superior ratings image.[111]

While the merger of newsrooms created a stronger competitor to KHON-TV in the ratings and sometimes eclipsed it in combined totals, most of the viewership was attributable to KGMB, not KHNL, and the two stations initially carried separate advertising during news simulcasts.[112] KHON was able to claim it had the number one rating at times when KGMB only surpassed it with the addition of KHNL viewers.[113][114]

TV an independent station owned by the Watumull family In 1967 Richard Eaton s United Broadcasting Company purchased the station The call letters were changed to KIKU TV and the format to primarily Japanese language shows In addition to serving Hawaii s Japanese language community the station gained notice in the wider market for its telecast of sumo wrestling as well as tokusatsu series particularly Android Kikaider better known in Hawaii as Kikaida A general partnership of investors from California and Hawaii as well as Japan s TV Asahi acquired KIKU TV in 1979 In 1981 channel 13 significantly reduced its Japanese language broadcasting though it continued to air programs in the language into the 1990s and became a general entertainment independent Under the management of future Honolulu mayor Rick Blangiardi in 1984 the station renamed itself KHNL it then added coverage of University of Hawaiʻi athletics as well as an affiliation with Fox in 1986 A limited amount of Japanese language programming continued to air into the early 1990s shortly after the Providence Journal Company acquired the station In 1994 the acquisition of KHON TV Honolulu s number one station and an NBC affiliate by Fox linked SF Broadcasting portended an affiliation switch which ultimately took place on January 1 1996 with KHNL changing from Fox to NBC As a result in April 1995 KHNL began airing nightly newscasts Despite luring several high profile names in local TV news the station struggled to gain ratings Providence Journal merged with Belo Corporation in 1997 Belo then divested KHNL to Raycom Media in 1999 Raycom led the consolidation of KHNL and KGMB s news into Hawaii News Now in 2009 the combination became a serious challenger to KHON TV primarily on the strength of KGMB s existing news viewership Gray acquired Raycom in 2019 KHNL s second and sixth subchannels are relayed on Kailua Kona licensed KFVE channel 6 and Wailuku based KLEI channel 21 Contents 1 Channel 13

Honolulu s original five TV allocations to receive any interest even though channels 2 and 4 each had two applicants 2 Territorial Telecasters a group linked to radio woman Christmas Early filed for the channel in December 1952 3 only to abandon its bid within months and formally withdraw it in June 4 In October 1956 industrialist Henry J Kaiser applied for channel 13 after also requesting authority to build a new Honolulu radio station 5 The Federal Communications Commission FCC granted a construction permit in December 6 but this was stayed between January and April 1957 following a protest by KULA TV channel 4 on economic grounds 7 8 On May 5 1957 KHVH TV began broadcasting on channel 13 Airing from Kaiser s Hawaiian Village Hotel it was the first station to broadcast color television in Hawaii KHVH TV was an independent station that lacked network affiliation or even a studio camera it was primarily a movie station scheduling three to four feature films a day 8 In May 1958 Kaiser acquired KULA TV 9 the two stations merged as KHVH TV on channel 4 retaining KULA TV s affiliation with ABC at midnight on July 15 1958 10 Early years editKTRG TV The Watumull years edit David Watumull through the Hawaiian Paradise Park Corporation applied for channel 13 in March 1962 11 Simultaneously Watumull purchased KOOD 990 AM and changed its call letters to KTRG 12 The construction permit was granted on April 27 1962 13 and KTRG TV began telecasting on July 4 1962 it was more than five hours later than advertised due to technical difficulties with the transmitter and received an assist from the three other Honolulu TV stations to get on the air the first night 14 Studios were on Kalakaua Avenue 13 In addition to syndicated programs KTRG TV broadcast some local productions One of these was high school quiz show The Challengers which debuted in 1963 and was originally moderated by sportscaster Harry Kalas 15 Another was a local version of the children s program Romper Room 16 However the station lost money and was operating on a part time basis 17 61 KIKU TV The Japanese language years edit Watumull filed in January 1966 to sell KTRG TV to Richard Eaton owner of the United Broadcasting Company for an initially agreed sales price of 700 000 later revised to 550 000 Watumull kept the radio station 18 19 Eaton s programming plans for channel 13 attracted scrutiny at the FCC as he sought to convert channel 13 into a station broadcasting Japanese language programming 20 In October the commission designated the deal for a hearing on two issues the proposed conversion to Japanese language programming and Eaton s past record as several other United stations had received short term license renewals The commission worried that Eaton would have difficulty controlling a station in far flung Honolulu given the supervision issues that had arisen at other United stations 21 By January 1967 the station proposed a format consisting of 50 percent Japanese language and 50 percent English language programming 22 With the deal languishing Hoover Tateishi a longtime Hawaii broadcaster who had been part of Eaton s bid resigned in order to program two hours a week of Japanese language programs on channel 13 17 77 While the FCC s ruling on the matter was pending Friendly Broadcasting sued Hawaiian Paradise Park Corporation in May 1967 alleging that Watumull had broken his contract to sell KTRG TV to Eaton and was talking with another party who wished to buy the station for a greater purchase price Watumull claimed he was able to do so because the contract lapsed after a year without FCC approval 23 However judge Cyrus Nils Tavares issued a ruling that June 30 that the sales contract was still binding 24 Hearing examiner Thomas Donahue ruled in favor of Eaton s purchase of KTRG TV in July 1967 noting that Eaton s poor track record had come from his business model of converting the dogs and cats of stations into viable broadcast properties 17 The sale was then effectuated after the sale concluded Hawaiian Paradise Park sued its Washington attorney for malpractice 24 Meanwhile on October 1 KTRG TV returned to the air as KIKU TV with Tateishi as general manager 25 26 The new call letters represented the Japanese name for the chrysanthemum flower 27 I thought this will do it The plot was simple the monsters were ugly the actors were young and the theme song was catchy Joanne Ninomiya on scheduling Android Kikaider on KIKU TV s lineup 28 While remaining rooted in Japanese language programming imported from Japan KIKU TV slowly broadened its appeal In 1968 it began nightly telecasts of sumo wrestling 29 color telecasting began in 1969 30 The station introduced subtitles on its Japanese language programs in 1970 which proved popular and expanded to having half of all programs subtitled by 1975 27 Another channel 13 specialty was children s programming it aired such tokusatsu programs as Kamen Rider Rainbowman and Android Kikaider 27 31 The success of the latter was particularly noteworthy the show beat Sesame Street in the ratings and it was noted in an article in Time magazine 28 In 1971 the station moved from Kalakaua Avenue to studios on Puuhale Road 32 From Japanese to English editMid Pacific Television Associates ownership edit In 1979 Mid Pacific Television Associates was approved to buy KIKU TV for 2 7 million the general partnership featured two consortia of investors one local and one headed by the Cushman family of San Diego as well as Japanese network TV Asahi with a 20 percent stake 33 34 Despite the presence of TV Asahi in the ownership group major changes in 1981 led the station s programming away from Japanese language shows On June 29 the station doubled the length of its broadcast day and switched to shows mostly in English as Hawaii s only general entertainment independent station Japanese programming remained at noon and 10 p m times when management believed its primarily older viewers would still tune in The programming change was met with some dismay by senior citizens and the Japanese program at the University of Hawaiʻi at Manoa UH but it also was in line with declining Japanese fluency and immigration in Hawaii 35 A 1998 journal article by Shinji Uozumi suggested that another reason was recent instability in the Japanese yen Between January 1977 and October 1978 the yen strengthened going from 271 to the dollar to 176 to the dollar and increasing the prices for Japanese programming as paid by the U S station 36 Joanne Ninomiya who had been KIKU s general manager since 1969 37 left in January 1981 due to the proposed changes and then began a venture broadcasting Japanese language shows on cable 38 In addition to syndicated programming and the remaining Japanese language shows channel 13 also began offering newscasts seven days a week on November 1 1981 39 It increased its transmitter power improving its signal 40 However some viewers in the Japanese community refused to watch the station after removing much of the programming that catered to their needs 41 In a show of the impact KIKU had on non Japanese speaking viewers a Hawaiian woman A T Ko Opuna started an unsuccessful petition writing campaign to urge the FCC to support expanded Japanese language broadcasting on the station 36 88 nbsp Rick Blangiardi served as general manager of KHNL from 1984 to 1989 and returned in 2008 when KGMB and KHNL consolidated The largest changes however came after Rick Blangiardi a former University of Hawaiʻi assistant football coach who had worked at KGMB TV was named general manager in February 1984 Blangiardi fired 24 employees he brought with him 13 employees from KGMB and increased the staff size from 48 to 54 41 The news department was immediately disbanded as a business decision 42 while programming was upgraded Blangiardi also changed the station s call sign from KIKU TV to KHNL after Honolulu s airport code Japanese language shows continued to air from 10 p m to midnight but other than that the station was operating as a full time general entertainment independent that branded itself as a news alternative and the free movie channel 43 KHNL also began a heavy schedule of local sports telecasts including next day broadcasts of University of Hawaiʻi football sports brought viewers and increased advertising revenue 44 However the station still lost money because it reinvested its profits in improvements especially production equipment for remote sports broadcasts 41 King Broadcasting ownership and Fox affiliation edit In February 1986 the King Broadcasting Company of Seattle purchased KHNL from Mid Pacific Television Associates at a time when the local investors who owned 30 percent of the station were facing financial pressures 45 It was King Broadcasting s first independent station as it owned three NBC affiliates plus a CBS affiliate on the Mainland 46 After the King sale Joanne Ninomiya returned to the station particularly assisting with the introduction of subtitles to KHNL s long running sumo telecasts 47 Her JN Productions also supplied six hours of Japanese language shows on Sundays and a daily newscast from Japan 48 KHNL became Hawaii s first affiliate of Fox in October 1986 49 The station also began expanding its reach with translators on Hawaii s other islands by 1987 it was broadcasting on Maui and Kauaʻi 50 and in 1989 it began broadcasting its programs on KHBC TV channel 2 in Hilo Hawaii which King Broadcasting purchased after a previous attempt to operate the station on an independent basis failed the previous year 51 The Maui translator was replaced with full power KOGG channel 15 which began broadcasting from Haleakala on August 22 1989 52 In 1992 the Providence Journal Company acquired King Broadcasting Blangiardi who had been promoted to running Seattle s KING TV in 1989 was fired from his post there immediately 53 By this time on the strength of Fox programming and UH athletics the station was experiencing success A Nielsen ratings study found it to be the fourth highest rated independent station in prime time in the United States 54 Under Providence Journal ownership the station rebranded to Fox 13 in January 1993 55 later that year it began programming KFVE K5 channel 5 under a time brokerage agreement 56 K5 became the new broadcaster for UH athletics in January 1994 providing additional opportunities for live broadcasts 57 Japanese language programming disappeared from KHNL s schedule in 1993 after JN Productions began programming KHAI TV channel 20 which already primarily broadcast shows in Japanese and moved its cable programs there 58 That station then changed its call sign to KIKU 59 Switch to NBC editIn August 1994 Burnham Broadcasting announced it would sell NBC affiliate KHON TV channel 2 and two other stations to SF Broadcasting a joint venture between Savoy Pictures and Fox the network owning a voting stock in Savoy with the stations to switch their affiliations to Fox 60 However the deal languished for months at the FCC because NBC was challenging the structure of SF s purchase of a fourth Burnham station WLUK TV in Green Bay Wisconsin KHNL announced in early November 1994 that it was setting up a local news department 61 On November 21 KHNL and NBC reached an affiliation agreement with the effective date to be determined as part of the Burnham SF transaction sale process 62 The news department launched on April 17 1995 with the station rebranding to Hawaii News8 and using its cable channel number instead of channel 13 63 The affiliation switch took place at midnight on January 1 1996 64 In 1997 Belo acquired the Providence Journal Company However it found that there was no synergy between KHNL and its clusters of stations in Texas the Pacific Northwest and the mid Atlantic states and put the station up for sale along with KASA TV in Albuquerque New Mexico in May 1999 65 The Albuquerque and Honolulu operations were purchased by Raycom Media for 88 million 66 Raycom president John Hayes was familiar with KHNL as he had been the vice president of television at the Providence Journal Company prior to its merger with Belo 67 With the November 1999 legalization of duopolies Raycom acquired KFVE outright the deal was approved on December 29 1999 creating what Raycom called the first legal duopoly in the United States 68 Digital broadcasting from KHNL and its satellites began with the launch of digital facilities for KHBC TV in Hilo in May 2002 69 KHNL DT in Honolulu was activated on January 1 2003 70 In late 2008 KHNL relocated from its studios on Sand Island Access Road Route 64 Route 640 and the Puuhale Road offices to a new facility on Waiakamilo Road The move allowed KHNL to consolidate station operations in one facility what had been KFVE s building prior to the 1993 operating agreement had housed the news department since its launch while sales and back office departments worked out of the Puuhale offices PBS Hawaiʻi then moved into the building 71 KHNL KHBC TV and KOGG discontinued analog broadcasting on January 15 2009 the date on which full power television stations in Hawaii transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts The transition in Hawaii had been brought forward from the original February 17 national switch date itself later delayed to June because of concern that the dismantling of existing transmitter towers atop Haleakala would affect the mating season of the endangered Hawaiian petrel which begins in February 72 All three stations opted to remain on their pre transition digital channels of 35 22 and 16 respectively 73 Consolidation with KGMB editOn August 18 2009 Raycom and MCG Capital Corporation owner of CBS affiliate KGMB entered into a shared services agreement SSA under which KGMB s operations including its news department would be combined with KHNL and KFVE in the latter s facility KGMB and KFVE would effectively swap licenses and channel numbers moving CBS programming to channel 5 which Raycom owned directly while KFVE would move from channels 5 to 9 and fall under MCG Capital s ownership 74 75 The move would lead to the elimination of a third of the stations combined staff 76 77 The agreement came about primarily for economic reasons Where the state s TV stations had taken in 68 million in revenue in 2008 the Great Recession was predicted to reduce that figure to 48 million in 2009 78 Raycom president and CEO Paul McTear noted that in light of an economic reality that this market cannot support five traditionally separated television stations all with duplicated costs the agreement would preserve the operations of the three involved stations He said the SSA would preserve three stations that provide important and valuable local national and international programming to viewers in Hawaii 79 The combined operation would reduce its headcount from 198 to 130 KGMB s management including general manager Blangiardi would run KGMB and KHNL 76 The structure of the deal particularly the channel 5 9 swap seen as an end run around a rule that prohibited common ownership of two of the four highest rated stations in the market led to criticism from media watchdog groups and a formal opposition being filed with the FCC 75 80 On October 26 2009 KGMB and KHNL began presenting joint newscasts under the banner Hawaii News Now 80 In November 2016 the Hawaii News Now stations and Raycom stations in 22 additional markets discontinued use of Nielsen ratings in favor of other methods of audience research One reason was that unlike larger Mainland markets Honolulu was still measured by Nielsen by means of a diary system instead of meters that electronically track ratings habits Of 11 400 diaries sent out in one Honolulu market survey only 914 were returned 81 Sale to Gray Television edit On June 25 2018 Atlanta based Gray Television announced it had reached an agreement with Raycom to merge their respective broadcasting assets consisting of Raycom s 63 existing owned and or operated television stations including KGMB and KHNL and Gray s 93 television stations under the former s corporate umbrella In the cash and stock merger transaction valued at 3 6 billion Gray shareholders would acquire preferred stock currently held by Raycom Because Raycom operated three stations in the Honolulu market the companies were required to sell either KHNL KGMB or KFVE to another station owner in order to comply with FCC ownership rules 82 83 84 85 On November 1 2018 Nexstar Media Group owner of KHNL TV announced that it would acquire KFVE and the licenses of former KGMB TV satellites KGMD TV and KGMV from American Spirit Media for 6 5 million However Raycom retained the K5 brand call letters and programming except for KFVE s MyNetworkTV affiliation 86 87 88 89 The sale of KFVE to Nexstar was approved by the FCC on December 17 90 the Gray Raycom merger was approved three days later 91 The sale was completed on January 2 2019 92 In part because of the merger and with a successor lined up Blangiardi stepped down from running KGMB and KHNL in 2020 and mounted a successful campaign for mayor of Honolulu 93 News operation editFurther information Hawaii News Now Starting a newsroom edit Even prior to signing an affiliation agreement with NBC KHNL announced in November 1994 its intention to begin producing newscasts sometime in 1995 Providence Journal decided to make KHNL the first tapeless TV newsroom in the United States with all digital editing equipment 61 While advertising was run immediately to search for news talent the station made headlines within weeks by poaching a string of top anchors and reporters from Hawaii s other television stations The first was Dan Cooke who had been anchoring the news at KITV since 1987 94 Another KITV employee soon followed sports director Robert Kekaula who as part of moving to KHNL would also become a presence on KFVE s UH athletics broadcasts 95 These were part of a string of defections from KHON KITV and KGMB 96 in total those three stations lost 16 on and off air staff to the new KHNL news operation 97 KHNL leased KFVE s Sand Island Road studios from its owner to provide space for the news department 98 On April 17 1995 Hawaii News8 launched with a prime time newscast at 9 p m The program was simulcast on KFVE and featured a fast paced style 99 100 News broadcasts expanded that year with the addition of a 10 p m newscast on June 19 followed by the debut of a 5 p m newscast on July 24 101 and a 6 p m newscast on November 30 69 Upon joining NBC the station added a two hour weekday morning newscast from 5 to 7 a m on January 2 1996 102 The station s newscasts however failed to find ratings success in spite of NBC s strength in entertainment programming in the late 1990s 103 By 1999 both Cooke and Kekaula had returned to KITV 104 In 2007 even though KFVE was still the official station of UH athletics KHNL ceased airing regular sports segments in its newscasts and proceeded to lose both of its sportscasters 105 KHNL also produced some newscasts specifically for KFVE When KHNL became an NBC affiliate K5 exclusively aired the 9 p m news but it was canceled effective August 3 1997 because of frequent sports preemptions and a lack of ratings and resources 106 A newscast in that time period was reinstated in 2004 107 and a 6 30 p m newscast on K5 was added in January 2008 108 On December 22 2008 with the move to Waiakamilo Road KHNL became the first television station in Hawaii to begin broadcasting its local newscasts in high definition the KFVE newscasts were included in the upgrade 69 Hawaii News Now edit nbsp A Hawaii News Now crew interviews Hawaii County Mayor Billy Kenoi in 2011 Main article Hawaii News Now After the consolidation of KGMB and KHNL news was announced the combined newscast debuted as Hawaii News Now on October 26 2009 The two stations changed the times of some of their early evening newscasts both stations broadcast at 5 and 10 p m with KHNL presenting news at 5 30 and KGMB at 6 p m 109 Most of the on air personalities came from KGMB with just four KHNL on air employees remaining with Hawaii News Now 110 Wayne Harada writing for The Honolulu Advertiser noted that the choice of KGMB personalities likely owed to the ability to remove highly paid veterans from the combined staff and rely on KGMB s superior ratings image 111 While the merger of newsrooms created a stronger competitor to KHON TV in the ratings and sometimes eclipsed it in combined totals most of the viewership was attributable to KGMB not KHNL and the two stations initially carried separate advertising during news simulcasts 112 KHON was able to claim it had the number one rating at times when KGMB only surpassed it with the addition of KHNL viewers 113 114 Notable former on air staff edit Maria
