>Public radio services from the four constituent states of the
>Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) are accessible live online at www.fm, a
>website run by local telecom provider FSM Telecommunications Corporation.
>
>The following radio stations are available:
>Chuuk (formerly Truk) State - BWXX FM 89.5 (V6AK)
>Yap State - KUTE FM (V6AI)
>Kosrae State - Voice of Kosrae V6AJ
>Pohnpei (formerly Ponape) State - Voice of Pohnpei V6AH
>
>In addition to the live streams the entire programme output for the previous
>three days are nominally available on-demand as 18-hour audio files.
>However, when checked on 14 November it was found that this feature was
>actually only functioning for Yap station KUTE FM, and in the case of BWXX
>FM (Chuuk) both the live stream and the on-demand files were silent.
>
>All stations typically broadcast at 0600-2400 local time (UTC +10 hours
>Chuuk, Yap; UTC +11 hours Kosrae, Pohnpei). Programming is in
>indigenous languages and English, including some news and business
>programmes from overseas broadcasters such as the BBC and Radio Australia.
>
>Voice of Pohnpei V6AH has its own long-dormant website with programme
>schedules at www.fm/ppbc.
>
>The Federated States of Micronesia are part of the Caroline Islands
>archipeligo located in the Pacific Ocean, north east of Papua New Guinea. In
>the aftermath of World War II these islands formed part of the Trust
>Territory of the Pacific Islands, a United Nations trusteeship under US
>administration, emerging as a separate political entity with the
>adoption of a constitution in 1979. Independence was attained in 1986 under
>a "Compact of Free
>Association" with the USA, an agreement providing guaranteed financial
>assistance from the US in return for certain defence rights.
>
>Maps, photos, links and a wealth of information on the FSM can be found
>on the tourist organization's attractive website at
>www.visit-micronesia.com.
