[HCDX] ABC Radio Australia set to launch 24-hour FM radio service in Koror

["Arnaldo" <slaen@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Starting Aug. 1, if you live in Palau's busy central district of Koror, you will be able to connect to ABC Radio Australia's newest 24-hour Pacific service on 91.5FM. 

ABC International director Murray Green will officially launch 91.5FM, accompanied by popular Radio Australia presenter Clement Paligaru, at the Palau Pacific Resort on July 30.

The new service was made possible by working in close partnership with the Palau Ministry of State, and continues to build on Radio Australia's dedicated Pacific FM radio network. 

"We are finally able to reach our listeners in Palau via FM broadcast and provide a high quality informative and entertaining service. We are delighted to welcome Palau to our growing network of 24-hour FM services in the Pacific and provide a 24-hour radio service that has the ability to connect the thoughts, attitudes, experiences and issues facing people all across the Pacific, from the Cook Islands in Polynesia all the way to Palau in Micronesia," said Dr. Mike McCluskey, chief executive of Radio Australia. 

Radio Australia's 91.5FM will deliver programming in Koror and surrounding areas, enabling local audiences to connect to a diverse choice of Pacific focused programs that have thus far been available only via shortwave. 

Radio Australia is part of the ABC's International division and is a radio and online service broadcasting 24-hours a day across Asia and the Pacific and together with Australia Network Television, connects Australia with audiences in the Pacific. 

Radio Australia now has a network of 12 FM relays in the Pacific broadcasting 24 hours a day: Palau . Koror . 91.5FM; PNG . Port Moresby . 101.9FM . Lae . 102.1FM; Solomon Islands . Honiara . 107FM; Vanuatu . Port Vila & Santo . 103FM; Fiji . Suva & Nadi . 92.6FM (suspended until further notice); Samoa . Apia . 102FM; Tonga . Nuku'alofa . 103FM; Cooks Islands .
