Honolulu | Live Core Productions

Honolulu is one of the 100 U.S. markets where Live Core Productions maintains coverage. From spot news and severe weather to courts, politics, and special events, our Honolulu crews deliver broadcast-ready video and stills to newsrooms nationwide.

Every Honolulu assignment is coordinated by our Las Vegas-based assignment desk, so you make one call and get one point of contact, one invoice, and footage delivered to your specs by FTP, cloud, or direct feed. Live capability includes LiveU/TVU bonded cellular and satellite coordination for hits and full segments.

Where the news happens in Honolulu

Our Honolulu crews work the stories that come out of the Hawaii State Capitol and Honolulu Hale, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, and the Hawaii Convention Center and Aloha Stadium, and they know the stand-up positions, parking, and access rules at each of them. Assignments in Honolulu reach Waikiki, Downtown Honolulu, Ala Moana, Kakaako, and Kahala and the rest of the island of Oahu, and a crew can be rolling to a scene anywhere in the metro within the hour.

Scheduled coverage and events in Honolulu

Scheduled coverage in Honolulu includes press conferences, trials and hearings, campaign stops, sports and entertainment at the Hawaii Convention Center, Waikiki Beach, and Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, commencements and campus stories at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, Hawaii Pacific University, and Chaminade University, and the planned events that fill a rundown. We shoot to your style guide, deliver b-roll, VOSOTs, or full packages, and return the raw media the same day.

Live shots from Honolulu

Live shots from Honolulu are supported end to end: LiveU and TVU bonded cellular, IFB and return video, satellite coordination when a story calls for it, and a photographer who treats a live window as sacred. We have hit windows from the Hawaii Convention Center, Waikiki Beach, and Daniel K. Inouye International Airport and from scenes with no infrastructure at all.
