KTWG (801 AM) is a non-commercial radio station broadcasting a Christian radio format. Licensed to Hagåtña, Guam, United States, it serves Guam and Northern Marianas Islands. The station is owned by Edward H. Poppe, Jr. and Frances W. Poppe, and is managed by Leilani Dahilig. The station's studios are located in Piti. Most programming is supplied by Trans World Radio (TWR).
While the station broadcasts at 801 kHz, many American radios, especially the digital readout variety, are capable of tuning in AM stations in 10 kHz increments only. Therefore, in the station's marketing, the nearest frequency, "800", is used instead. Stations in Guam fall within the jurisdiction of the Geneva Frequency Plan of 1975, instead of the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement, whose coverage includes the U.S. mainland and Hawaii.
KTWG is the primary entry point for the Emergency Alert System in Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.
