KUAM is a radio station, broadcasting at 630 AM from Dededo, Guam. The station's format is Chamorro music, and is branded as Isla63.
The station is owned by Pacific Telestations (a company of the local conglomerate Calvo Enterprises, Inc.) and is Guam's first radio station, having signed on the air on March 3, 1954. They are also the sister station to KUAM-TV, KUAM-LP and KUAM-FM.
Long known as Isla61, KUAM changed its broadcast frequency from 612 kHz to 630 kHz in July 2007. [1] This move enables most radios with digital tuners found locally (built for the Americas' ITU Region 2 interval of 10 kHz) to tune precisely to the station's frequency instead of being 2 kHz off (when tuned to 610 kHz).
The KUAM-TV nightly newscast at 6 pm is simulcast on Isla63.
After Typhoon Pongsona hit Guam on December 8, 2002, Isla61 was off the air for more than one year. Programs such as the morning talk "Positively Local" and the TV news simulcast were carried by sister station KUAM-FM, which was revived as quickly as many other radio and TV stations. (Many other businesses with multiple outlets prioritized recovery in the same manner.)
