KPXO-TV (channel 66) is a television station licensed to Kaneohe, Hawaii, United States, serving the Hawaiian Islands as an affiliate of Ion Television. Owned by Inyo Broadcast Holdings, KPXO-TV maintains offices on Waimanu Street in Honolulu. It broadcasts from a two-site distributed transmission system, with transmitters at Kailua and Akupu, Hawaii.^[2]

KPXO-TV was a charter affiliate of the network when it began as Pax TV in 1998. Even though it does not have any satellite stations, KPXO-TV is available on cable statewide.

Subchannels

The station's signal is multiplexed:

Subchannels of KPXO-TV^[3]
Channel	Res.	Aspect	Short name	Programming
66.1	720p	16:9	ION	Ion Television
66.2	480i		CourtTV	Court TV

66.4			Defy TV	Ion Plus^[4]

On November 16, 2024, Scripps News ceased over-the-air operations and converted to a free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) service; as a result, KPXO-TV replaced the network on its fifth subchannel with Grit, which is also on its third subchannel.

Analog-to-digital conversion

In 2009, KPXO left analog channel 66, continuing on digital channel 41 when the analog to digital conversion was completed.^[5]

On April 13, 2017, the FCC announced that KPXO-TV would relocate to RF channel 32^[6] by April 12, 2019^[7] as a result of the broadcast incentive auction.^[8]
