Join us from Monday, October 3 2011 as we bring you an exclusive review of radio broadcasting in today's Federated States of Micronesia on the new Mailbox program from Radio New Zealand International.

The program includes reviews of todays radio scene on each of the island states of Chuuk [Truk], Kosrae, Pohnpei and Yap, looks at the differences between the islands, and reviews some of the challenges facing public radio in this North Pacific nation. 

You can listen directly via shortwave radio from RNZI in New Zealand, or audio on demand [for the following month] with full details of current broadcast frequencies [both DRM and analog] and times possible for your area as well as audio downloads at
www.rnzi.com.

FSM as it's better known, developed its local radio stations during the period of US Trust Territory of the Pacific status, and these stations form the core of the FSM Broadcasting Service headquartered on Pohnpei today.

As well as public stations V6AK Chuuk, V6AJ Kosrae, V6AH Pohnpei, and V6AI Yap, there are only two commercial radio stations in the country, the rest being run by a wide range of churches and missions.

Probably the best known is V6MP The Cross, which broadcasts on 4755 Shortwave across all of FSM and to Palau, Saipan and the Marshall Islands. This station started out in a converted shipping container.

You'll also hear recent air checks from each of the FSMBS AM radio stations, and each with very distinctive local programs, as well as a taste of contemporary Micronesian music.

So join us from Monday, October 3 2011 as we explore the contemporary radio scene in the Federated States of Micronesia on the Mailbox program from Radio New Zealand International [www.rnzi.com].
