K11UU-D (channel 11) is a low-power independent television station in Pago Pago, American Samoa, owned by American Samoa Adventist Media Ministry, Inc.

History

Pacific Channel Samoa (PCS TV), a company owned by Bill Hyman, received a construction permit to build a new channel 11 low-power television station at Pago Pago on January 18, 2002; the station filed for a license to cover on October 14, 2003. Pacific Channel Samoa transferred the license to co-owned Samoa Systems, Inc. in 2010. PCS-TV converted to digital that same year; at that time, it broadcast Australia Network most of the day, live sports from New Zealand and Fiji, and religious programs on the Baháʼí Faith.{{cite news|url=https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/pacific-news/191739/american-samoa-tv-station-prepares-to-go-digital-next-month|publisher=RNZ International|date=July 30, 2010|title=American Samoa TV station prepares to go digital next month|accessdate=October 24, 2020}}

Hyman's finances suffered after he lost money making a movie in the early 2010s, prompting him to consider selling the television station.{{cite news|url=https://www.talanei.com/2016/12/19/pcs-tv-sold-to-american-samoa-adventist-media-inc/|accessdate=October 24, 2020|title=PCS TV Sold to American Samoa Adventist Media Inc.|date=December 19, 2016|work=Talanei}} In August 2016, Hyman sold K11UU-D to a Seventh-Day Adventist media group,{{cite news|url=https://www.samoanews.com/local-news/seventh-day-adventist-church-launches-tv-station|work=Samoa News|accessdate=October 24, 2020|date=December 21, 2016|title=Seventh-Day Adventist Church launches TV station}} which he had selected to purchase the station, since it would continue to air religious fare. PCS programming moved to the 11.2 subchannel, and channel 11.1 relaunched as a local outlet under the Hope Channel banner.{{cite news|url=https://record.adventistchurch.com/2017/01/10/hope-channel-launched-in-american-samoa/|accessdate=October 24, 2020|date=January 10, 2017|title=Hope Channel launched in American Samoa|work=Adventist Record}}
