NOUMEA, NEW CALEDONIA (2 June 2010) – The Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) is pleased to announce the launching of Tonga’s first community FM radio station on Niuatoputapu, a remote island in northern Tonga.
The historic launch took place on 25 May this year. After the devastating tsunami late last year, SPC and the Commonwealth of Learning provided a “radio in a suitcase” to help villages rebuild their community.
