History

KGMB was the first television station in Hawaii, airing its first programs on December 1, 1952. It was owned by a partnership of future congressman Cec Heftel, owner of KGMB-AM 590, and the Honolulu Star-Bulletin. It carried programming from all three major networks, but was a primary CBS affiliate owing to KGMB-AM's long affiliation with CBS Radio. NBC disappeared from the schedule when KONA-TV (now KHON-TV) signed on in 1953, and ABC went to KULA-TV (now KITV) signed on in 1954, leaving KGMB as a sole CBS affiliate. is the 335th day of the year (336th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

In 2000, Lee exited television and sold most of its television holdings, including KGMB, to Emmis Communications. Emmis already owned KHON-TV, and KHON moved its studios to KGMB's facility. As Emmis itself prepared to exit the television industry, it sold KHON to Montecito Broadcast Group in 2006. On February 20, 2007 Emmis announced that KGMB and its satellites have been sold to HITV Operating Company, Inc. (a subsidiary of MCG Capital), for $40 million.

From 2002 to 2004, KGMB carried select programming from the now-defunct UPN television network as a secondary affiliation. In the Honolulu market, KFVE previosuly was a UPN affiliate from 1995 until 2002, when the station decided to drop UPN and switch its primary affiliation to The WB. KGMB was one of two stations that aired UPN programming on a secondary basis in Hawaii during this period; KHON was the other. KIKU-TV picked up secondary UPN affiliation in the fall of 2004. UPN (which originally stood for the United Paramount Network) was a television network in over 200 markets in the United States. ...

For many years, KGMB called itself One of the Good Things About Hawaii with its rich history of local television programming exclusively in Hawaii. Now with an emphasis on weather, the station brands itself Hawaii's Severe Weather Station.

Shortly after HITV took over, KGMB redesigned its website. Its copyright tagline now incorporates the station's former longtime slogan.

Programming

KGMB clears all CBS programming, although the station will occasionally pre-empt CBS primetime shows until late nights in order to broadcast local events.

From September 2005 to August 2007, KGMB aired the nationally syndicated weekday morning news show The Daily Buzz every Monday through Friday from 5-7 am. (Although The Daily Buzz was/is a three-hour show, KGMB only aired the first two hours.) During this period it was the only "Big Three" affiliate in the United States carrying the show. The station dropped the show after its August 17, 2007 edition to make room for KGMB's new morning newscast titled Sunrise on KGMB9, which launched on September 17. The Daily Buzz moved to KHON's CW digital subchannel "Hawaii's CW 93" the following Monday, August 20. Ironically, the show competes with KHON's own "Hawaii's Morning News" program. The Daily Buzz is a nationally syndicated morning news program produced in Orlando, Florida by ACME Communications shown mostly on The CW or MyNetwork affiliates. ...

KGMB currently airs CBS' daytime soap operas in a radically different order from the main network feed; specifically, The Bold and the Beautiful (11:30 am), Guiding Light (12 Noon), The Young and the Restless (1 pm), and As the World Turns (2 pm). In most other markets, Y&R is aired first, followed by B&B, ATWT and GL.

Guiding Light (known as The Guiding Light prior to 1975, GL) is an American television program credited by the Guinness Book of World Records as being the longest-running soap opera in production and the longest running drama in television history. ...
