The good thing about technology is that it allows us to access some of our work wherever you need to. However, sometimes the technology lets you down.
I’m the managing editor of KITV.com and I work on the site from all over. One time I even did work from Paris on a vacation. However, no power — no can do.
I made it to my parents home in Wahiawa where they had power. No cable Internet service cut me out there. My mother’s AT&T wireless card worked for about 15 minutes.
Finally, I’ve had to come into KITV for the work. However, KITV is owned by Hearst-Argyle. They help us with a team of Internet specialists around the country. They provided updates to the site while I faced the hurdles of the power outage.
It’s always nice to know you have backup.
KITV is planning a 1-hour special news broadcast at 5 p.m. We’re getting the latest from HECO, the city and others up on the site as fast as we get it.
Stay with us and thanks for counting on us.

WHY IS DAN MEISENZAHL WEARING A TIE???????!!!
Unless he is attempting to get a job on the mainland, I don’t understand the dress code change. There are three other stations I can watch anchors wearing the stuffy attire that is appropriate to the other 49 states, but I turn to KITV in the morning because yours is the station that provides the comfortability of a local station. This is my hometown news, a small town feel to big city stories.
The aloha attire of the anchors is a crucial element to maintaining the friendly atmosphere in which you deliver the news.
(Sorry to write here, couldn’t find a comment section on the website.)

The decision to go back to wearing suits was not Dan’s decision.
