News Operation
KITV airs 26.5 hours of local news programming a week, with four hours on weekdays, 3.5 hours on Saturday, and three hours on Sunday, thus making it one of the stations in Hawaii to have the most hours aired for local news coverage. (Hawaii News Now has the most hours aired for local, national, and international news coverage.) KITV has also won a Emmy Award for its newscasts. On weekdays, a two-hour news block airs at 5am, followed by half-hour blocks at 5 and 6 p.m., and an hour-long 10 p.m. newscast, which has aired since November 16, 2009, meaning that KITV becomes the first station in the state with an hour-long late night newscast. The market's first and only two hour weekend morning newscast begins at 6 a.m. (since September 7, 2010), followed by half hour news blocks at 5 and 10pm, although the station airs its 6 p.m. newscast on Saturday nights. KITV does not air local news at noon.
On April 18, 2011, starting with their evening newscasts, KITV began broadcasting from the newsroom, and on April 28, with the new set completed, the station began airing local news in widescreen standard definition, along with updated graphics and music. The majority of live field reports and video footage are also in widescreen.
