HNN, or Honolulu News Now as their acronym reads in my mind, has gone downhill since my last…read morereview, especially with news coverage for islands outside of Oahu. While I still like the newscasters and reporters, the main reason for watching the news - information, is lacking. And for sports fans, they still don't have a dedicated sports team, so even less stories are reported. At times even Oahu stories go unreported or are days old news. One example was the closing of iconic diner, Like Like Drive Inn. Three or four days after the story broke on KITV news did they even announce it. News is news no matter how petty. But, what prompted this review update was for their recent coverage on Hurricane Douglas on Maui (7.26.20). I wasn't watching HNN but a family member was on another TV in our house. At around 2:00pm as the hurricane was way past Maui and nearing Oahu, according to another more accurate news organization, HNN kept reporting that "Maui braces for hurricane" and "Maui residents urged to take shelter". They even had an inaccurate radar map showing red radar images (heavy rain) of a humongous storm enveloping all of Maui county when in fact there was barely a drizzle at the time. Yes, it's better to be safe than sorry but faulty information is just sad. Said family member was totally confused as the reporting and actual weather didn't sync. I finally turned the channel to KHON and did her a big favor, lol. OVERALL: I have since changed my viewing habits with KITV at 6pm (only one-hour newscast in the state) and KHON at 10pm. I still watch HNN every now and then but only in the mornings as their Sunrise crew does a good job at recapping headlines.

They were giving away a pair of tickets to the Janet Jackson concert. I only needed to go to their website to apply. I took a chance on faith and registered. I heard nothing for a few days . I had given up but that Friday I received a call saying they had a pair of tickets for me to the concert. I was screaming...A free pair of tickets to see James Jackson. Yes, I'm coming. I calmly took their address and went back into my meeting. Once I got my lunch break, I headed straight to Salem Media. It's a simply grey building near downtown HONOLULU. The parking there is limited to 5-6 stalls but if you wait patiently people move from them quickly. When I reached the 2nd floor the office, the gentleman at the desk was really cool. I said I'm here for My Tickets. So excited that I had to ask him to take a picture. This is truly a blessing. The next night, Saturday Night my husband and I arrive early because I knew there would be long lines. Guess what..we were able to skip the line. We got seated while everyone was waiting to come in. We had Great Seats with A Great View. Janet Jackson was fire . Morale of this post...enter in every contest you hear. You just might win. Mahalo

This is a comment on their weekly Cheap Eats segment every Wednesday. I believe the intent is to…read moreshowcase a local eatery which happens to offer "cheap eats." The host, Guy Hagi, is excellent. The problem is with Augie T. He makes jokes on the restaurant and food - basically, using airtime to showcase his "comedy act." It's hard to imagine how anyone watching would seriously believe how great the restaurant and food is, When Augie T was unavailable and replaced with another co-host, the segment improved and became much enjoyable. Please consider replacing Augie T or just have Mr Hagi do the segments himself! Food is not meant to be funny but enjoyed for it's taste. This is no joke.

I almost missed it because it right on the corner. I would have probably missed it if I didn't see a sign and staff out there waving us in. First of all, I'd like to say that PBS Hawaii does an awesome job exciting young minds to create videos. They run a great program called Hiki No which are student produced video stories. I'm really into learning and trying to teach my students how to do that. I have been trying for years but PBS Hawaii's program is wonderful. In the past I've just had to learn on my own. I'm not a professional videographer or even photographer so I don't really know what I'm doing. With Hiki No, they provide mentors to students to help them with their projects. This will be my first year participating in this with my school but we are excited. I'm excited for my students and also myself. I'm glad that I can take part in this process. Anyways, I was at PBS Hawaii because they had several breakout sessions during the day to teach us more about the video process. It was great. They had actual industry professionals giving teachers advice of how to start and what kind of shots would be best. For me, it was the first time that I really felt like I could do this. I'm excited for my students that they get expert help this year. Everyone at PBS Hawaii is wonderful. They're excited to learn about future projects and willing to work with new students.

According to the bio below, PBS Hawaii was once Hawaii Public Television and owned/managed by the…read morestate. It has since broken way from the state and renamed and rebranded itself to PBS Hawaii, which I think has done wonders for the organization. The brand new multi-million dollar broadcasting facility on the corner of Sand Island Access Road and Nimitz is a HUGE improvement from their previous facility at UH Manoa, and I'll bet this would not have been possible had it still been under the ownership/management of the state. This new facility enables PBS Hawaii to produce a lot of great local programming including HIKI NO, which are stories on topics of local interest, made and produced by Hawaii's own middle and high schoolers from public and private schools! In addition to the quality programming that PBS Hawaii airs on TV, it also hosts exclusive events for Keiki Club members, such as this past weekend's halloween costume party which was held at their brand new studio. As keiki club members, we got a little peak at their new facility and also got a photo op with Daniel Tiger! If you want to join in on the fun, just google 'pbs hawaii keiki club' for more info. $30 annual donation gets your child a cool welcome packet, on-air birthday greeting, birthday card and surprise present, quarterly newsletter, and most important, invites to exclusive members-only events!

After spending about 40 minutes troubleshooting with support, they told us the installation was done incorrectly and that the technician needs to come back.

No Will you be able to send someone today? No What comes after Filipi? No. We asked accounting because sometimes they can forward you to someone who can act if you threaten loss of money... still no. They only go worried about or situation when we threatened to give them a shitty survey review. Installs are quick to act. Repairs can take months... After months of waiting on internet repair. We had enough! So to work around their useless tele-operators. We called to Install... just so we would have a worker come in to the office. We spoke with them. Stated our problem and they fixed it on the spot with a phone call! Hawaiian Telcom should change their name to Filipi NO Telcom.

Quality is top notch. FX STUDIO crew went beyond what was contracted for, and shot and edited an additional 3rd camera. Got great close-ups and captured all the emotions we had. Great video coverage of our whole event. After the final edit all the camera angles, timing, side by side action reactions are so awesome. Re-living all the great times of our Wedding and even things we didn't see or things that went by so fast. Created a great Story for us to re-live every time we watch it. On day of pick up Doug went over everything on how to operate the Blu Ray video, the format of the hard drive for different computer systems (apple, windows), he also recommended eventually backing up to another source because hardware does have a shelf life. Doug just wants to make sure we will be able to view this video for the rest of our lives. Thank you very much to FX STUDIO.
