It started operations in 1980 as WTKK-TV (no relation to the Washington, D.C. station that held the same calls at the time), becoming the third television station in the Federated States of Micronesia, however the station entered bankruptcy about a year and a half after signing on.[2] Moreover, the station faced technical difficulties on a regular basis. Programming was provided by the Pacific Taping Company, which also taped content for WAAB-TV in Yap to air.[3] Upon the shutdown of the initial service, VCRs surpassed conventional television in Chuuk.[4]
It is unknown when exactly did the station resume its operations; as early as 1990, the station was already listed in guide books under the current TTKK callsign.[5]
