A strange thing happens when people turn on the news in Hawaii. Tune into the 10pm local newscast on KGMB, the Aloha State's CBS affiliate, then switch to its supposed NBC competitor, KHNL. Then go back and forth again. They will see the same stories, the same footage, the same broadcasts from beginning to end. Every weekday, for three hours, the two stations simulcast the news. A third station, KFVE, is also not much of a rival, airing 11 hours of news each week that is produced by the same Honolulu newsroom as KHNL and KGMB. Three of the five stations that deliver daily TV news in Hawaii have been joined into a single news operation. Here, Chavkin talks about Federal Communications Commission rules on media consolidation.
