To get an idea of the delay, I checked the IMDB listings...

KHON 2/NBC
While Dean Martin (originally done on tape) was a week late, The Virginian,
Laredo, and Man From U.N.C.L.E. were all two weeks late.

KHVH 4/ABC
12 O'Clock High and The Fugitive were each a week late.

KGMB 9/CBS
Red Skelton and Dick Van Dyke were each a week late.

Back in this era, I assume the filmed shows were sent over on 16mm prints,
but were VTR shows sent on a 2" tape or a kinnie?

 

[LKellerIII]

My first trip to Hawaii - November 1972 - starting the day McGovern was defeated by Nixon - there were no kinescopes that I can recall. Network programming was delayed a week. The only other thing I recall - the local newscasters dressed in suits on the early news (5:00 PM, IIRC), but switched to colorful Hawaiian shirts for the late news (9:30 and 10:00 PM).

 

[Cmpb301]

I've got a bunch of audio recordings from Hawaii from the early 1970s. Most CBS shows were on a different day of the week. Here is a Mannix end recreation from December 1972 I made. Mannix aired 6 days late Saturday night at 6:30. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xqggpl_mannix-s6-ep11-kgmb-12-2-72-paramount_shortfilms KGMB voice over for the syndicated rerun of Star Trek in prime time.

 

[bpatrick]

Despite the delays in receiving the programs, Ch. 2
in particular did a pretty good job of sticking with the
network schedules. I did notice the absence of the "Today"
show, but that would have been impossible to air at 7 AM on
tape-delay; it would have been out-of-date by the time Hawaii
saw it.

I spent my junior year of high school 1964-65 in Honolulu (Mc Kinley High). So this was just a few months after I left. It was also a few years before the Honolulu TV stations were linked to the mainland via satellite.

Back then, the rule of thumb was that the weekly series aired in Hawaii one week late. There may have been exceptions. And yes, my memory was that the Honolulu stations followed the network stations fairly closely. Shows that had been originally aired live or on tape were rebroadcast on tape. Examples were KGMB's nightly broadcast of the CBS evening news, which aired after the tape from earlier that evening arrived via air from the west coast. Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show" aired a day late....with the Friday show airing on Monday night.

During my year, NFL football tapes aired a day late on KGMB....usually a 49ers game, which was shown late Monday afternoons. (College games aired on Sundays). So it's a little curious to me why they'd be missing from the KGMB lineup for what would have been the following season. Perhaps there was simply no interest in watching day old games when everyone knew the results.

I have no recall of whether or not KHON was airing AFL games, but I do remember them airing World Series games on one-day delay.

Finally...as I posted in another thread....there was the matter of "Hawaii Time". Since there were no live feeds coming in, the published TV schedules were more or lesss "suggestions". Shows routinely begain five or ten minutes after their published start times. Sometimes even later. "Whenever we get around to it". Nobody seemed to mind.

On my return visit in the 90s, there were live feeds and everything ran on time.

Interesting that the CBS affiliate ran Walter Cronkite's news at Midnight, which was 11 1/2 hours after he did it live in NYC, if my math is right. Neither the NBC nor ABC affiliates did this.

I also notice Independent Channel 13 running movies all night but only signing on in the morning at 11. That's odd. While most independent stations at this time signed on later than the main network affiliates, I don't know of any that ran movies all night but waited till 11am for sign on. WGN-TV Chicago ran movies all night Friday and Saturday but started their schedule early, so they were close to a 24 hour station those nights.

I had a friend bring me a Hawaii TV Guide in the 70s when he returned from a vacation there. I was amazed to see how, at least at that time, Honolulu network affiliates assembled their own schedules. They didn't necessarily run network shows at the time or day as we'd see them on the mainland. They also would broadcast recent hit shows some nights between network shows. I think Medical Center, which had been cancelled the previous year, was run on one of the Honolulu network affiliates in the middle of primetime one evening. One station also ran its own movie one night, instead of taking the network's movie. I suppose they did that so they could keep all the money from the commercials.

I also see primetime goes from 6:30 to 10pm. I thought Hawaii followed the California schedule, with primetime being 7:30 to 11pm.

For as long as I can remember Alaska and Hawaii have used
the 6:30-10 PM (or, since the access rule, 7-10 PM) primetime.

I remember hearing about a guy named Danny Kaleikini (sp?) on
Ch. 2; he had a weekend afternoon show with movies and I don't
know what else (maybe like Bob Gordon in my area, with movies,
reruns, and guests). Anybody know anything about him or his show?

Coming from the Chicago area, I was pleased to see the schedule pretty much as what was familiar to me. While the network affilliates may have not started the shows at their published times, in the mid-60s they did stick pretty much with the network lineups...a few pre-emptions and substitutions, but not all that many. I'm a little surprised that this apparently changed in the 70s....after they were able to get live feeds from the bird.

I don't remember the all night movies on channel 13. That obviously started after I left.

I was in a Junior Achievement group with channel 13 (then KTRG-TV). The staff/management could not have been more supportive or helpful. A great group, and the facilities were actually halfway decent...at least for the period. Even though a bit cramped. "Our show" was reruns of a now-forgotten syndicated western, "Stagecoach West". 6:30pm Saturdays. Not only was it out of place for Hawaii, but it was up against "Jackie Gleason", "Flipper" and "Holywood Palace" from CBS, NBC, and ABC respectively. We got absolutely clobbered!

But it was a great experience and we had an absolute blast!

KHVH 4/ABC
12 O'Clock High and The Fugitive were each a week late.

You might want to add The Long Hot Summer to the really delayed list. KHVH's telecast was two weeks behind on this short-lived series.

Danny Kaleikini, like many other local celebrities in Hawaii during the 1960s-1980s hosted their own afternoon movie programs on weekends. The Danny Kaleikini Theater was one of them, that aired in the 1970s, into the early 1980s. Loyal Garner, Dave Ford, Hal "Aku" Lewis, Eddie Sherman, Jack McCoy, Bill Thompson, Granny Goose and many other local musicians, radio dj's, etc. had their own shows during that era. The late Dave Ford had the most popular show with his "Hollywood's Greatest Movie's" during the 1960s.

Jack McCoy. That name rings a bell.

I'm pretty sure he was our advisor for the Junior Achievement project I was in at KTRG-TV. Perhaps someone can confirm if indeed he was at KTRG-13 during the winter of '64-'65 helping out a bunch of pimply-faced high school kids. Very nice guy....patient with us and a good teacher.

 

[ajmcwhorter]

I believe Jack hosted a bingo show on KTRG around that time, there was also the "Jack McCoy Show", which was a tv/variety show filmed at Ala Moana Shopping Center stage during the early to mid 1960s airing on a couple channels too.

 

[oldiesfan6479]

Jack McCoy. That name rings a bell.

I realize that fake names are somewhat the norm in radio, but is this
the same Jack McCoy who was PD at KCBQ San Diego in the early '70s?
(Famous for the "Last Contest.")

 

[crainbebo]

I'm betting those game shows on the Big 3 were also several days late, like Let's Play Post Office and Let's Make a Deal.

-crainbebo

You may be right. I remember "Password" was a very popular show in those days with Allen Ludden as host (husband of Betty White at the time). I seem to recall that it was a couple of days late, but not a full week. And, as posted earlier, you only had to wait a day for NFL football, Johnny Carson, and syndicated nighttime talk like Regis Philbin....who had just taken over Steve Allen's late night program.

 

[ajmcwhorter]

That could be the same Jack McCoy, I'm not sure. I believe he eventually retired to California.

We didnt get same day network programming until 1985 on all three networks. Monday Night Football is obviously still tape delayed and sporting events until only about 8 years ago were also taped delayed to be later shown in prime time. I think the NCAA basketball championship is still both shown live and later on tape delay.
