KITV is the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) television station affiliate licensed to Honolulu, Hawaii. Based in Honolulu and broadcasting on digital channel 40, displayed as channel 4 the station is owned by Hearst Television and operates several satellites and translators on all the major Hawaiian Islands to rebroadcast programs outside of metropolitan Honolulu. Its main transmitter is located in Honolulu. It brands itself as KITV4. The station is also seen on Oceanic Cable channel 6 throughout most of the state (with the exception of the Big Island, where it is instead seen on channel 4), and on channel 4 for viewers on Hawaiian Telcom statewide.

The station signed on the air in 1954 as KULA-TV, and changed its call to KHVH-TV by 1959.

One of KITV's previous owners was Kaiser Broadcasting, which owned the station from 1958 to 1964. Kaiser sold the station to Western Telestations in December 1964 to help fund its new chain of independent stations on the mainland. Western Telestations became a wholly owned subsidiary of Lexington, Kentucky-based Starr Broadcasting Company in 1973. Around that time the station adopted its present-day KITV call to reflect its service of broadcasting to the Hawaiian Islands.

Mazie Keiko Hirono (メイジー・ヒロノ, Meijī Hirono^?, Japanese name: 広野 慶子 Hirono Keiko, born November 3, 1947) is the U.S. Representative for Hawaii's 2nd congressional district, serving since 2007. She is a member of the Democratic Party.

She was the second Asian immigrant elected lieutenant governor of a state of the United States. She ran against Linda Lingle for governor of Hawaii in 2002, one of the few gubernatorial races in United States history where two major parties nominated women to challenge each other. She considers herself a non-practicing Buddhist, and is often cited with Hank Johnson (D-Georgia), as the first Buddhist to serve in the United States Congress. She is the third woman to be elected to Congress from the state of Hawaii (after Patsy Mink and Pat Saiki). On May 19, 2011, Hirono announced her candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat left open by Senator Daniel Akaka. She will face Ed Case in the Democratic primary, setting up a rematch of the 2002 Democratic primary for Governor, in which she defeated him by a 1% margin (though a few weeks later, she lost to Lingle in the general election.)
