KVZK-2 is owned by the Government of American Samoa, which also operates [[KVZK-4]] and [[KVZK-5]], offering programming from [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], [[CBS]] and, before [[KKHJ-LP]]'s acquisition, [[NBC]]. Despite the odd call-letter arrangement and its absence from the FCC database, KVZK-2 is, in fact, a valid [[North American call sign|United States call sign]]. As an [[insular area]] of the [[United States]], television in [[American Samoa]] is regulated by the [[Department of the Interior]] instead of the [[FCC]]. {{Fact|date=April 2008}} KVZK-2 was American Samoa's first television station. It began broadcasting in black and white in 1964. Its broadcasts transitioned to color in 1969. ==External links== *[http://www.pbs.org/stationfinder/index.html?dest=%2Fstationfinder%2Findex.html&step=2&edit_st=y&state=AS&x=21&y=10 KVZK at PBS.org] *[http://www.fybush.com/sites/2005/site-050408.html Fybush.com: Article on American Samoa broadcasting towers] {{American Samoa TV}} [[Category:PBS member stations]] [[Category:Television stations in American Samoa]] [[Category:Channel 2 TV stations in the United States]] [[Category:Television channels and stations established in 1964]] {{US-tv-station-stub}}
