KVZK-2 is the local PBS member station for Pago Pago and American Samoa, broadcasting in NTSC on VHF channel 2.
KVZK-2 is owned by the Government of American Samoa, which also operates KVZK-4 and KVZK-5, offering programming from 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 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.[citation needed]
KVZK-2 was American Samoa's first television station. It began broadcasting in black and white in 1964. Its broadcasts transitioned to color after the station became part of PBS in 1971.
