KHET, also called PBS Hawaii, is the only PBS member station in Hawaii. Based in Honolulu, KHET first aired in 1966. It is currently owned by the people of Hawaii through the Hawaii Public Television Foundation governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and has satellite feeds on all the major Hawaiian Islands to rebroadcast programs outside of metropolitan Honolulu. It can also be seen statewide on Oceanic Cable channel 10.
KHET broadcasts over-the-air on channel 11(analog)/11.1(digital), with a multicast of the "PBS Hawaii Create" channel on 11.2[1]. The analog transmitter is located in Honolulu, while the digital transmitter is on Palehua Ridge, north of Makakilo[2]. The digital transmitter is only 9.5 kW (versus 148 kW for analog), so most Honolulu residents have difficulty receiving the 1080i digital signal[3].
Until 2003, the station was known as Hawaii Public Television.
PBS Hawaii is rebroadcast on full-powered KMEB in Wailuku on Maui, as well as the following low-powered translator stations.
