History[edit | edit source]
KHON-TV first signed on the air on December 15, 1952, as Hawaii's second television station. Originally, it was an affiliate of the NBC network. The station was founded by the Honolulu Star-Bulletin newspaper and was initially a primary NBC affiliate, sharing secondary affiliations with CBS and ABC until those networks established their own affiliates in the market.
In 1996, KHON-TV switched its affiliation from NBC to Fox as part of a major network realignment. This change was part of a larger deal involving several stations owned by SF Broadcasting, which was later acquired by Nexstar Media Group.
