the merger with sorensen allowed ktgm to share resources with sorensen's radio stations, and thus allowed the k57 (kgum) news operations (which took on the name "pacific news center") to expand into television. ktgm's half-hour evening news began broadcasting in summer 2005, ending kuam's monopoly of local tv news since 1998. the pnc tv news is broadcast live nightly at 6 p.m., then rebroadcast on keqi at 7 and 10:30 p.m., as well as on ktgm after abc primetime programming at 10 p.m.
