KHON2

Only reporting a one sided story and not accurately at that. At what cost? Faking empathy just to gain and NOT report the full incident. Ruining lives.

You guys need to get all your facts straight and not twist witnesses statements… Very unprofessional and your headlines are very uneducated. your on the seen reporters are a joke worst news station ever.

I love your guys action news. when you report crappy businesses.

I came here recently on a holiday (Columbus Day 2014) to perform with my crew for a morning news segment. Unlike most of the reviews here, my review is going to be about my actual experience at the news station. They have pretty convenient parking right on Piikoi, across from Ala Moana. The parking is also shared by Kissaten Coffee Shop. Since it was a holiday, parking was a breeze. The entrance to the station is shortly outside of the structure. The person who let us in and guided us to the waiting area was really nice. Ron Mizutani and Diane Ako was on air at the time. They were really nice especially when they let us take a picture with them at the end of our segment (off-​air of course). Everything went pretty fast and smoothly. It gave us a feeling of real time and real life news casting even for just a short time. The studio inside is really nice, clean, and bright. I’ve been to and performed at other different channels/​news stations in the past and this one was a good experience as well.

Since the new GM took over I don’t watch the morning show anymore. Trini, Manolo, and Kirk … Gone. Trini made me smile, Manolo did food news … Sad

IMHO: The morning show is way too serious, especially Kirk Matthews (is he still there?) The evening news, Joe Moore is too opinionated and emotional, Marisa Yamane I just don’t care for her reporting style, and Nestor Garcia… wow, really? And the neighbor island news is majorly lacking.

Went on a tour at KHON 2 today. It was interesting seeing the inside of a television station and being on set while they were broadcasting the 5 pm news! Eeee! It’s different from what I’ve seen on television news shows, or it’s just outdated.
We got to see Justin Cruz and Kathy Muneno tell us the news for the evening! Ha ha. There was a lot of different aspects of television we got to explore.
A big thank you to Kyle who took time out of his busy schedule to take us around and allowed me to take pictures along the way. Also to Justin and Kathy for telling us a bit of what they do and to let us sit in while they did their thing!

I heart Olena! I’ve been on the KHON2 morning show numerous times and she’s always been a gracious on-​air host. Although I consider myself a morning person (not really by choice but because I have a baby), it always amazes me that the newscasters, producers and camera men get there at 3 am every morning for work. I have a tough enough time getting there at 6 am once every couple of months so a big kudos to the hard working morning show crew! The KHON2 staff is always friendly, helpful and wonderful to work with and it’s nice to know that they’re really kind people in real life.
As Nicole K mentioned, the reporters are on Twitter and really consistent when it comes to tweeting out important news and responding back to questions. KHON2 has a parking lot adjacent to the building but there are only a few stalls. It might be better to do metered parking or hop across from Ala Moana Center.
Unilocal 365 Challenge: #231/​365 (The Wake Up 2Day)

I heart the Wake Up 2day crew at KHON. Olena Heu is very kind and makes you feel comfortable when you visit the studio as a guest. Jai is a great guy and he likes to crack jokes with Kirk when the cameras are off.
The entire staff is friendly and I like that they tweet and post updates on Twitter and Facebook throughout the morning. You’d assume someone else is posting for Olena, but she seriously tweets in between commercial breaks! She also greets guests, briefs guests, stages the set, and «mics up» her interview, too. It’s amazing how much work goes into production.
Great job!
Things to know:
–Limited parking; Only 3 guest stalls (Street parking available)
–Be there at least 15 mins before your actual interview time
–Kisseten is next door… Coffe and snacks!
