in 2008, ktgm apparently had its dtv construction permit expire, and was waiting for the fcc to reinstate it, which it did later that year. on february 18, 2009, ktgm officially signed off its analog channel at 2 p.m. chamorro standard time (6 p.m. hst/8 p.m. pst/11 p.m. est on february 17, 2009) and switched on its atsc digital channel 14.
