Papua New Guinea Radio Now
____________________________ 

Join us from Monday, June 27 2011 as we bring you an exclusive review
of radio broadcasting in today's Papua New Guinea - so much more than
20 tropical band shortwave radio stations - on the Mailbox program
from Radio New Zealand International.

The program includes reviews of major Papua New Guinea radio
websites, updates on the new radio licensing laws, how increased
cell-phone coverage is opening up a rapidly growing youth market and
some little known facts about contemporary broadcasting in this South
West 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. 

Few listeners comprehend that Port Moresby, the national capital, now
has a population approaching 350,000 people, a freeway system, a
booming construction of high rise office and residential buildings,
and that local radio listeners have some 15 separate radio brands to
choose from along the FM dial....and even sponsored drivetime radio
shows with local radio personalities.

Commercial radio brands such as FM100, Nau FM, Yumi FM and new
arrivals, are expanding rapidly across the mountainous country, using
the cell-phone infrastructure networks that are exploding on the back
of a major natural gas, oil and mineral resources boom. Radio station
profits grew by 30% in 2010 and a new national media framework is
bringing modern communications and FM radio to the most remote
villages.

The Kundu network with its dated shortwave radio stations, competing
religious radio stations tangling the airwaves, new commercial
stations, and a large base of local record studios churning out local
popular music that feeds the playlists of Radio Morobe, Wantok Radio,
Tribe FM and a growing number of other stations...this is just part
of todays radio story.

So join us from Monday, June 27 2011 as we explore the contemporary
radio scene in Papua New Guinea on the Mailbox program from Radio New
Zealand International [www.rnzi.com].
