Tokyo Broadcasting System Television
Prior to the switch to ShopHQ, most of KIKU's programming consisted of multicultural content catering to the large Asian community in the Hawaiian Islands. Programs seen on the station were broadcast in Japanese, Tagalog, and English. Japanese programming was its most popular genre on the station, with content licensed from some of Japan's major television broadcasters, including TV Asahi, Tokyo Broadcasting System Television, NHK and Nippon TV. KIKU's Filipino programming was from the most popular television broadcasters in the Philippines, including GMA Network, ABS-CBN, and TV 5. In 2011, KIKU expanded its Asian focus to include Chinese programming on Saturdays.
