The owner of KHON-TV in Honolulu and its sister stations in Portland, Ore., and Wichita, Kan., KOIN and KSNW, respectively, is exploring a possible sale. Given the "very exciting, very active" deal-making under way in the broadcast industry, "it would be foolish, businesswise, not to listen to whatever offers are out there."

From what I understand, any sale to any new owner would be an improvement over there at six.

Are there even any good shows on 6? I seem to recall we are always watching 2 8 or 10!

It appears Portland will be their largest market. Sometimes that can be a good thing with more attention paid to it. However, this organization also has a history of buying and divesting.

The Arlington page is very outdated; it no longer invests in New Vision and all of the stations listed were sold (new stations have since been bought but with different money men). New Vision doesn't have its own web page that I've been able to find. Full coverage at OMI.
