2018. KITV has won a Regional Emmy Award for the best newscast in the state. In addition to ABC NewsOne, KITV also has a news feed affiliation with CNN, which used KITV's live broadband stream to report on a magnitude-6.6 earthquake that struck off the northwestern coast of Hawaii County on October 15, 2006. Since KITV was the only station in Hawaii to air live coverage of the earthquake after the event (most other stations in Honolulu continued on with their normal morning programming that day), it also attracted a flood of phone calls and e-mails from people worldwide trying to find out if their loved ones were safe. The live stream also attracted the attention of The Daily Show the following day (October 16), due in part to a building manager mentioning via a public address system that the building's bathrooms were still operational while the news anchors were still on the air. On November 16, 2009, KITV expanded its 10:00 p.m. newscast to one hour; KITV was one of a handful of ABC stations across the country that carried an hour-long late evening newscast. Because of this, Jimmy Kimmel Live! was broadcast on a 25-minute delay weeknights at 11 p.m. local time. This practice ended on September 24, 2018, when KITV reverted its 10 p.m. newscast to 35 minutes, allowing Jimmy Kimmel Live! to air in its normal timeslot. On September 7, 2010, the station started Hawaii's only weekend morning newscast, from 6 to 8 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday mornings. On April 18, 2011, starting with its 5:00 p.m. newscast, KITV began broadcasting its news programming from the station's newsroom while construction of a new news set was being done in the station's main news studio. Ten days later on April 28, the station unveiled the new set, along with updated graphics and music, and also began broadcasting its local newscasts in widescreen standard definition; the majority of live field reports and video footage is also broadcast in widescreen. In April 2013, KITV expanded its 6:00 p.m. newscast to one hour, making it the only station in Hawaii to air an hour-long newscast in this time period.
