Radio Australia Counts Number 13
MELBOURNE - In the Pacific you can now tune into Radio Australia anytime driving to and from work, in a taxi, or while
at home or in the office, simply by turning on local FM.
The ever-expanding Radio Australia FM network throughout the Pacific now delivers high quality broadcasts to audiences
in the key urban centres across the Pacific. Providing a diverse choice of programmes that previously have been
available only via shortwave and select rebroadcasts from Pacific national broadcasters, Radio Australia is keen to
increase the interaction with audiences from across the Pacific.
With new services switched on this month in the Cook Islands (Rarotonga 93FM), Papua New Guinea (Lae 102.1FM), Kiribati
(Tarawa 90FM) and shortly Vanuatu (Santo 103FM) the FM network continues to build on Radio Australia's long-standing
commitment to Pacific audiences.
Newly appointed CEO of Radio Australia Mr Hanh Tran is delighted with the growing Pacific FM network. "It is exciting to
see that in the Pacific our traditional radio business is alive and well, and if anything becoming more relevant to
audiences than ever before. It's a reflection of our diversity that we can provide quality and tailored content to
audiences in Asia via a range of online services and to urban areas in the Pacific via our own 24-hour FM broadcasts. It
shows the true meaning of being a multi-platform, varied-content provider while meeting the demands of audiences that
rely on us," stated Mr Tran.
Radio Australia now has 13 x 24-hour FM relays throughout Asia and the Pacific.
Phnom Penh & Siem Reap 101.5FM; Dili 106.5FM; Port Moresby 101.9FM; Lae 102.1FM; Honiara 107FM; Port Vila & Santos 103FM; Suva & Nadi 92.6FM; Nuku'alofa 103FM, Tarawa 90FM and Rarotonga 93FM.
