KGMB, virtual channel 5 (UHF digital channel 23), is a CBS-affiliated television station located in Honolulu, Hawaii, United States. The station is owned by Raycom Media, as part of a duopoly with NBC affiliate KHNL (channel 13); Raycom also operates MyNetworkTV affiliate KFVE (channel 9) under a shared services agreement with owner MCG Capital Corporation. All three stations share studios on Waiakamilo Road in Honolulu's Kapālama neighborhood. KGMB's transmitter is located in Akupu. Syndicated programming on KGMB includes ''Entertainment Tonight'', ''America Now'', ''Who Wants to Be a Millionaire'', and ''Jeopardy!'' (the latter has aired on KGMB since 2002, after airing on KHON for more than a decade).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://kgmb.titantv.com/apg/ttv.aspx?siteid=52363 )〕 ==History== The station first signed on the air on December 1, 1952, as the first television station in the then-territory of Hawaii. KGMB-TV was originally owned by J. Howard Worrall along with KGMB radio (AM 590, now KSSK) and operated from studios on Kapiolani Boulevard in Honolulu. The station carried programming from three of the four major networks at the time (excluding DuMont), but was a primary CBS affiliate owing to KGMB-AM's long affiliation with CBS Radio. The station lost NBC programming when KONA-TV (channel 2, now KHON-TV) signed on two weeks later, and lost ABC when KULA-TV (channel 4, now KITV) launched in April 1954. In 1973, a partnership led by future Hawaii congressman Cecil Heftel bought KGMB-AM-TV, then turned around and sold the KGMB stations to Lee Enterprises in 1977. Lee sold off the radio station in 1980. In 1982, the station dropped the "-TV" suffix from its call sign. The real-life KGMB news crew was often featured in one of the longest-running police dramas on CBS in the 1970s, ''Hawaii Five-O''. The station continues to have ties to the iconic series' reboot, as CBS has allowed KGMB to let its viewers preview the season premiere episode early at the Waikiki Shell each September since the rebooted series debuted in 2010. In 2000 Lee exited from television broadcasting and sold most of its television holdings (including KGMB) to Emmis Communications. Emmis already owned KHON-TV, so it had to obtain a cross-ownership waiver for the purchase of KGMB from the Federal Communications Commission, to bypass the recently passed duopoly rules that forbid common ownership of two of the four highest-rated stations in a single market. This waiver was renewed several times while Emmis owned both stations. At that time, KHON moved its operations into KGMB's facility, though the two stations maintained separate news departments. From 2002 to 2004, KGMB carried select UPN programming via a secondary affiliation shared with KHON; each station aired programs from that network that the other station did not air. The two stations began carrying UPN programming in September 2002 after KFVE, which had served as Honolulu's UPN affiliate since the network's January 1995 inception, decided to disaffiliate from UPN and switch its primary affiliation to The WB (whose programming aired on KFVE in a secondary capacity from 1998 until that point). KIKU, an independent station specializing in Japanese programming, became a secondary UPN affiliate in November 2004 and remained with the network until its closure in September 2006. As Emmis itself prepared to exit the television industry, it sold KHON to the Montecito Broadcast Group in 2006. Emmis then announced on February 20, 2007 that KGMB and its satellites had been sold to MCG Capital Corporation for $40 million,〔()〕 resulting in one of the rare instances involving a complete separation of a television station duopoly. The FCC granted approval of the sale in late May and was completed on June 4, 2007. Shortly after MCG Capital Corporation took over, KGMB adopted a logo similar to one it used in the early 1980s and also rolled out a new graphics package for its newscast and a new website. For many years, KGMB billed itself as "One of the Good Things About Hawaii" with its rich history of local television programming exclusively in Hawaii, especially in such shows as ''Skipper Al'' and ''Checkers & Pogo'' (both children's programs; the latter being the most remembered, airing from 1967 to 1982 and featured Morgan White), ''The Hawaii Moving Company'' (originally a disco/dance program that transitioned into a general interest show), and the 1982 television special ''Rap's Hawaii'' starring Rap Reiplinger. This slogan was made famous by an a cappella jingle which is still heard on KGMB today. It can now be heard at the end of KGMB's morning newscast, ''Sunrise,'' leading into ''CBS This Morning.'' Later, with an emphasis on weather, the station branded itself "Hawaii's Severe Weather Station". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KGMB」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
