KEQI-LP, channel 22, is an Fox-affiliated low-power digital television station licensed to Dededo, Guam. The station is owned by Sorensen Media Group, and is a sister station to ABC affiliate KTGM. Together they maintain studios on 111 Chalan Santo Papa in Hagåtña (Agana). Its transmitter is located in the heights of Barigåda (Barrigada).
Its signal can be seen over-the-air in Hagåtña (Agana), Tamuneng (Tamuning), and Dededo. The KEQI-LP programming is also available island-wide on KTGM's digital subchannel (channel 14.2), on cable channel 6 on MCV Broadband and GTA's GUdTV systems in Guam, and on cable channel 10 on MCV Broadband in the Northern Mariana Islands.
KEQI-LP signed on the air on in 2004, and has been owned by Sorensen Media Group since its inception. It broadcast as an independent station until picking up the Fox network affiliation on September 1, 2005. Prior to this, Fox had only been carried as a secondary affiliation, first on NBC affiliate KUAM-TV, then on KTGM (which Sorensen acquired in November 2005) from 1990 onward, until near the end of the decade, when KTGM dropped it to focus on ABC programming. After this, local cable systems carried San Francisco Bay Area affiliate KTVU before the network affiliated with KEQI.
The station airs a mix of Fox network programming and syndicated fare. It also airs the Fox primetime schedule on the same week as the continental United States, except that shows are aired on a Tuesday-through-Monday pattern rather than the Monday-through-Sunday pattern, since Guam is a day ahead of the United States. This does not apply to live sports, which mainly air live early in the morning.
