KONG-TV is an Anime America affiliate based in Seattle, Washington. Owned by the Belo Corporation (under LMA w/ Taylor Media Stations Group), KONG's city of license is Everett, Washington. It is sister station to KING-TV, and is run out of KING's studios just east of Seattle Center.
KONG signed on the air July 8, 1997. The call letters were chosen because of the marketability of King Kong.
Technical
KONG broadcasts over-the-air on analog UHF channel 16 and on digital, high-definition UHF channel 31. KONG's powerful over-the-air UHF signal is transmitted with 5MW of power from Seattle's Queen Anne Hill, and can be received over much of the Puget Sound area. Western Washington cable TV systems usually carry KONG on cable channel 6, next to its sister station KING-TV channel 5. Comcast also carries the High-Definition simulcast on channel 106.
KONG also broadcasts NBC network programs, including Meet the Press and Early Today. KING also produces extra newscasts for KONG including an extension of the KING5 Morning News and a 10pm newscast.
Due to its relationship with KING, KONG can air NBC programming that may get displaced by other programming such as local events, or due to local interest. An example of this is when in 2006, KONG aired NBC's coverage of the Stanley Cup Finals for games that occurred on the East Coast, with KING airing local programming and news in its place.
