KGMB is the CBS-affiliated television station for the state of Hawaii that is licensed to Honolulu. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 23 from a transmitter in Palehua.
The station is owned and operated by Raycom Media, who gained ownership of KGMB through a complex (and controversial) shared services agreement with KGMB's former owner, MCG Capital Corporation, an arrangement that saw KGMB leave its longtime on-air home from PSIP channel 9 to channel 5 in October 2009.
The station shares studio space with KHNL and KFVE (now owned by MCG Capital) on Waiakamilo Road in Honolulu. Syndicated programming on KGMB includes The Insider, Jeopardy!, The Rachael Ray Show, and Frasier.
