History
KUAM was Guam's first television station, signing on August 5, 1956 (initially intended to open on July 15[1]), on analog channel 8. It carried programming from all three networks, but has always been a primary NBC affiliate. As of 1967, Guam had 30,000 television sets.[2] KUAM began its first broadcast in color in 1970. When Fox debuted in 1986, they carried its lineup as well. For a time, this made KUAM one of the few stations to be affiliated with all four major networks.
