While the station broadcasts at 801 kHz, many American radios, especially the digital readout variety, were capable of tuning in AM stations in 10 kHz increments only. Therefore, in the station's marketing, the nearest frequency, "800", is used instead. Stations in Guam fall within the jurisdiction of the Geneva Frequency Plan of 1975, instead of the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement, whose coverage includes the U.S. mainland.

KTWG is the primary entry point for the Emergency Alert System in Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.

History

KTWG went on air November 1, 1974. It was owned by Trans World Radio Pacific and initially operated on 770 kHz. A move to 800/801 was approved in 1978.
