 KFVE would see their channel positions in Honolulu swapped—with KFVE and its programming moving to channel 9 (under MCG ownership) and KGMB and its CBS programming moving to channel 5 (under Raycom ownership).  The change took place on October 26, 2009, with all three stations' newscasts merged into one major broadcast under the banner "Hawaii News Now." In addition, all three stations' logos were retired as well.  This combination allowed the Hawaii News Now group to control 45% of the market.

Raycom President/CEO Paul McTear said the SSA would "preserve three stations that provide important and valuable local, national and international programming to viewers in Hawaii." The plan, however, has met with criticism from organizations such as Media Council Hawaii, which viewed the plan as a way to circumvent FCC rules preventing one company owning two of the top four stations in any market. An estimated 68 positions from a total of 198 from the three stations would be eliminated as part of the agreement.

Beginning in 2016, the Hawaii News Now (HNN) group of KGMB, KHNL, and KFVE severed ties to the Nielsen ratings. After the November 25 sweeps, Raycom media will use other research to track KHNL and KGMB audiences.  KFVE, owned by HITV, will be affected also. In Hawaii, Nielsen does not use electronic means to track audiences. Recently, only 914 of the printed Nielsen booklets, known as monthly diaries, were completed out of 11,400 diaries. On January 9, 2016, KITV, as well as its second digital channel MeTV, announced that it changed from Nielsen to Rentrak. KHON will continue to use Nielsen ratings.

The various production companies that work with the major networks have produced television series and other projects in Hawaii. Most notable were police dramas like Magnum, P.I.and Hawaii Five-O (including its 2010 remake). Although not set in Hawaii,  the settings and locations for Lost was produced and filmed in the state. The Brian Keith Show, an NBC sitcom which aired from 1972–1974, was set in Hawaii. Currently, hit TV shows like Dog the Bounty Hunter and the updated Hawaii Five-0 are filmed in the Hawaiian Islands. A comprehensive list of such projects can be seen at the list of Hawaii television series.
