TTKK (channel 7) is a television station in Weno (formerly Moen), Chuuk State. The station is one of the two commercial operations in the Federated States of Micronesia.[1]
It started operations in 1980 as "WTKK-TV" (no relation to the station in Washington, D.C., that held the same calls at the time), becoming the third television station in the Federated States of Micronesia; however, the station entered bankruptcy about a year and a half after signing on.[2] Moreover, the station faced technical difficulties on a regular basis. Programming was provided by the Pacific Taping Company, which also taped content for WAAB-TV in Yap to air.[3] Upon the shutdown of the initial service, VCRs surpassed conventional television in Chuuk.[4]
It is unknown exactly when the station resumed its operations; as early as 1990, the station was already listed in guide books under the current TTKK call sign.[5]
