Government of American Samoa, which also operates KVZK-2, KVZK-4, and KVZK-5, offering programming from ABC, CBS, AFN and PBS. KVZK-8's transmitter is located on Toa Ridge northeast of Atuu.

Despite the odd call-letter arrangement, KVZK-8 is, in fact, a valid United States call sign.

As an insular area of the United States, television in American Samoa was originally regulated by the Department of the Interior instead of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and will continue to be so when operated by the American Samoan Government. However, other TV stations not operated by the American Samoan Government that would later be licensed in American Samoa would be placed under the jurisdiction of the FCC.

gollark: Δy/Δx, if you prefer.
gollark: The slope of the line.
gollark: Ah, so if two adjacent things are the same and both extrema it wants the midpoint?
gollark: If they mean approximately the same things as in the calculus I did, then if the gradient was positive/negative on one side and the same sign on the other it would not be a maximum/minimum but just an inflection point. But if the gradient changes sign, then it can be, and this probably requires a different value to on either side. But I don't really get what they're saying either.
gollark: I think to be a valid maximum/minimum it has to be >/< but *not* equal?
