and
NBC affiliations, respectively. The move would result in adding more of their respective networks' programming for each station, as opposed to airing selected CBS shows for KUAM-TV and KTGM to air. KUAM-LP also carried programs from
The WB on a secondary basis from their inception until June 2001, when it moved to KTGM.
Because of its LPTV status, the station also aired its programming on cable channel 11, which helped reach its audience on the island. On February 18, 2009, KUAM-LP began simulcasting on KUAM's digital subchannel 8.2, extending its
over-the-air reach throughout Guam. KUAM-LP was one of the few television stations to
sign off at night. It signed off at 1:30 a.m. and did not air ''
Up to the Minute''. Instead, during its downtime, the station simply aired CBS network promos and
public service announcements overnight.
The station's license was canceled by the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on September 4, 2013. Its CBS programming continues to air on KUAM-DT2.
