Programming
[edit]
Originally KEQI-LP, the station signed on the air on December 17, 2004, and has been owned by Sorensen Media Group since its inception. It broadcast as anindependent stationuntil picking up the Fox network affiliation on September 1, 2005. Prior to this, Fox had only been carried as a secondary affiliation, first onNBCaffiliateKUAM-TV,then on KTGM (which Sorensen acquired in November 2005) from 1990 onward, until near the end of the decade, when KTGM dropped it to focus on ABC programming. After this, local cable systems carriedSan Francisco Bay AreaaffiliateKTVUbefore the network affiliated with KEQI-LP.
The station airs a mix of Fox network programming andsyndicatedfare. It also airs the Fox prime time schedule on the same week as thecontinental United States,except that shows are aired on a Tuesday-through-Monday pattern rather than the Monday-through-Sunday pattern, since Guam is a day ahead of the United States. This does not apply to live sports, which mainly air live early in the morning.
In 2008, the station added news programming from thePhilippines,using content fromABS-CBNand its sister news cable channelANCthroughThe Filipino Channel,throughout the day when they do not air any Fox programming. KEQI-LD also airs radio simulcasts of severalKGUMtalk shows with live studio cams.
