KHON-2 had no Saturday newscasts at all in 1971.

I also would think that the KHVH-4 and KGMB-9 early-evening newscasts consisted merely of an anchor reading news into a camera. Probably no newsfilm at all on most weekends.

This represents one Saturday in 1971, there could have been weekend newscasts later in the year. I thought Judd Hambrick did weekend news in addition to his weekday anchoring with Bob Basso. But I can't recall this offhand. I think by 1973 there were weekend newscasts on KHON. The KHON news as it is now known didnt start until June 1965. What happened news related in the previous 14 years? For several years it was KONA on Channel 11, Webley Edwards (Hawaii Calls) was the first news anchor for the station. I believe in 1964 there was no local news whatsoever on Channel 2 save for the occasional NBC news, the station was sold in 1965 and became KHON and they then had began to finally have a real news department.

Off-topic, then back on: does anyone know the name Danny Kaleikini (sp?)?
I think he hosted KHON's weekend daytime movies but I would like to know
more about him.

Back to the subject of local news, I think Pacific and Southern (later bought
by Combined Communications, then by Gannett) was a Honolulu-based company;
I bring this up because it owned Ch. 11 in Atlanta when it was WQXI, and I seem
to recall one of its g.m.'s, George Hagar, being transferred from Atlanta to Honolulu.
It was while P&S still owned what we now know as 11 Alive that John Tyler was brought
in from Amarillo (1972) and that station also began to have a real news operation including,
as I mentioned elsewhere, noon newscasts on weekends, the first station in Atlanta to do so.

Couple things, Danny Kaleikini has been a longtime Hawaii entertainer, performed at the Kahala Hilton for over 20 years, has acted in
the original Hawaii 5-0, and is the official state Ambassador of Aloha. I have some of his old KHON hosted movies on beta. As for George Hagar yes he was GM at KHON for many years. Both happen to be friends of mine.

I just wanted to add that George Hagar died recently.
