Samoa FM Sale

Samoa Quality Broadcasters have completed purchase of 89.1 FM Apia,
the former SBC Radio 1 outlet. CEO is Ms Faiesea Matafeo, also the
current CEO of SBC and she will be joined by seven other existing SBC
staff. Redundancy payments are being made to others.

The station will continue the 60 year old tradition of quality
broadcasting established by forerunner 2AP in 1948, and serve Samoa
in both English and Samoan languages.

SQB have also purchased Televise Samoa from the SBC, and will be
operating from the same premises at Mulinu'u on the harbor front in
Apia. 

The existing SBC1 and SBC2 AM transmitters [540 and 747] are not part
of the sale deal and will come under control of the Ministry of
Communications for use in emergencies and other times of national
interest. 

Further information on operations of the national AM service will be
available shortly.

The full background to the sale can be found at the 'Samoan Radio
Sale' article at www.radioheritage.net, along with exclusive photos
of the existing SBC studio and transmission facilities in Apia.
