KGTF is a full-power television station located in Guam transmitting over digital channel 12. The station is operated and funded by the Guam Educational Telecommunications Corporation. KGTF is a PBS member station and its signal covers the entire territory of Guam. Though officially listed as being out of Hagåtña (Agana), the KGTF facilities are actually located in Mangilao, adjacent to Guam Community College.

Unlike most other PBS stations, KGTF offers no subchannels other than the main feed.

History

The station signed on the air on October 30, 1970 with only 4½ hours of programming Monday through Friday, of which they would later expand throughout its nearly-40-year history, including producing local shows and various projects. KGTF currently operates from 6:00am to 12:00 midnight seven days a week.
