The change has really confused and angered me. I've managed to find KGMB/CBS again (channel 45 and it's a dreadful picture) but what used to be, in my opinion, the only decent local TV company has been replaced with utter brain-dead garbage.
I enjoyed watching the NFL on a Sunday morning on CBS and 60 Minutes later on. The only reality programme I've ever actually watched and enjoyed, The Amazing Race, was right after 60 Minutes. I'm no Letterman fan but I liked Ferguson. The local weather on the KGMB was also of a much higher quality than the other channels I think. The early morning show, I forget what it's called, was also quite good and fun to watch.
The Star Bulletin had a little more information on the change, there's something about things changing in a couple of weeks or perhaps next year, but I don't know if that applies to the Big Island:

Now it's scammy infomercials during the day and utter dross in the evening (although I like Family Guy!). I was hoping that at least they would show some NBC shows, Sunday night Football and the Office. Instead I get some game show about whether you're more intelligent than a fifth grader and I think that says it all.
Oh well, that's progress I guess...
