Newscasts

Further information: Hawaii News Now

On April 17, 1995, KHNL launched a prime time newscast at 9 p.m. that was simulcasted on KFVE. This was dropped on August 3, 1997. On October 18, 2004, prime time news was re-launchged on KFVE, again produced by KHNL. On January 7, 2008, this station launched an additional news show produced by that station that airs weeknights at 6:30. Beginning on December 20, KFVE and KHNL began broadcasting their local news in high definition.

The shared services agreement resulted in the termination of all but four KHNL on-air staff and all of KHNL's morning show technicians when its newsroom merged with KGMB on October 26, 2009 when they began their simulcast. The two stations began to jointly produce and simulcast a weeknight 5 and 10 o'clock newscasts while KHNL moved their 6 P.M. show to 5:30. KGMB continues to have its own weeknight 6 o'clock newscast. The only times when they don't simulcast is during the 7AM hour when KHNL starts airing NBC's Today Show, 5:30PM when KGMB airs The CBS Evening News, and at 6PM when KHNL airs The NBC Nightly News. Weekday morning and weekend shows are simulcasted on the two but can be preempted on one station due to network obligations. The local news schedule on KFVE remains unchanged. There is no weekday midday news on either station.
