Who we are

Big Island Video News serves the entire Hawaii Island. Our goal is to supply residents and visitors with video news, updated regularly.

On our website, bigislandvideonews.com, video is normally presented documentary style, and in some cases, footage will be shown in its raw, unfiltered form. For a more traditional broadcast news presentation, we are proud to have recently started a weekly cable news program, airing on Na Leo o Hawaii public access TV on Oceanic Time Warner Cable television. The program can be seen every Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. on channel 54, with a replay on Friday at 7:30 p.m. on channel 53. The content will be a combination of news coverage that has already appeared on our website throughout the week, and new news coverage not yet seen. The stories will later be archived here on the bigislandvideonews.com website.

Although our news coverage can be seen all over the world thanks to the internet, we will remain focused on the County of Hawaii, and state issues that impact the residents of the Big Island. This website hopes to serve as a hub for visitor input, whether it be video comments, video submissions, or embedded local content from other video sites. Most of what you see here will be original content, produced by Big Island Video News.

The site is operated by news videographer Dave Corrigan, who previously worked for over a decade as “Chief Photog” for the NBC network affiliate in Atlantic City, NJ. He now resides with his wife in Hilo, and is determined to cover the events on this fascinating island the best that he can. He is joined by Tim Bryan, a lifelong Hawaii resident who for decades has worked in television news and often serves the Oahu based local news stations as a video news stringer on the Big Island. Tim is currently the “voice” of our Na Leo TV broadcast.
