Ever since moving to Guam, I have no idea what the TV schedule is and we catch shows on a hit or miss basis. There is a guide in the Sunday edition of the newspaper but I don’t like the way it’s organized so I don’t bother with it. A big plus since we arrived has been the change of when prime time shows are broadcast. There used to be a delay of one week but, as of last Monday, there is only a six hour delay!
The other night, FG and I were watching our favorite channel, HGTV, and up came a show we’d never seen before: I want that! Tech Toys. I almost changed the channel but got hooked by the first item which was a “docupen” ~ this small, portable “pen” could scan a page or a photo and then plug into the computer to be downloaded. Yes, I want that tech toy.
FG saw some cubes with stick people/pets which interact with each other and now, she really, really wants those tech toys. So much so she is willing to do extra chores for them. Others must have thought the same thing because when I went online to order them, they were out of stock. I’m going to have to avoid watching HGTV for fear of seeing that show again ~ it’s the most dangerous TV we’ve seen.

That is too funny Pati. I would always get so tired of people asking if we had things on Guam…not just cable tv, but the would ask if we had electricity, if we drove cars, wore grass skirt and so forth…thanks for shedding such positive light on my home. BIBA GUAHAN!
See Guam is getting itself up there! I lived on Guam when there was a 2 week delay in program airing, it’s nice to know that Marianas Cable Vision is starting to live up to what the were supposed to be selling us years ago. When they bought out Guam Cable (the previous cable company) their big sellin gpoint was that we would watch shows the sme day they aired..go figure, years later they live up to it!

Sheila ~ Not to worry, the cable here has Disney, Family, and Nickelodeon channels. The only show I haven’t been able to find is Oprah. My eight year old loves the island life ~ there is a lot to do here if you’re into swimming, snorkeling, hiking, waterparks, etc. Good luck with the move and let me know if you have any other questions.

We must be kindred spirits. I love this channel, but the kids want to know if you get the Disney channel in Guam. I am afraid I will have mutiny on my hands if not. After moving to the Bahamas, and finding out the stations were limited I am hoping this is not the case in Guam. My children are not exactly overjoyed with the prospect of being on an island again, so I am really trying to talk this up big and point out all the really cool things about Guam.
