KVZK-TV is the public government-owned broadcaster of the U.S. territory of American Samoa, based in Pago Pago. A subsidiary of the Office of Public Information, currently directed by Tialuga Vince Iuli, it was established in 1964. KVZK-TV broadcasts from the National Register-listed Michael J. Kirwan Educational Television Center in Utulei and maintains a tower on Mount Alava.
The operations of KVZK-TV are not licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), though other stations on the island are; KVZK-TV nonetheless complies with FCC rules and regulations. The station also receives grants from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB); in 2017–18, the Office of Public Information had a budget of $1.9 million, with $638,000 coming from a CPB grant.
