Fiji
Fiji's private press includes English-language dailies and Fijian- and Hindi-language weeklies. The Government has a stake in several publications. Radio is a key source of information, particularly on the outer islands. There are both publicly and privately-owned stations.
Press: The main English-language daily is the Fiji Times, which claims to be ‘the first newspaper published in the world today’ – a reference to Suva’s position just to the west of the International Date Line; the other main English language paper is the Fiji Daily Post. The Fiji Sun is privately owned. Sartaj and Shanti Dut are weekly publications in Hindi. Fiji Calling is the bi-annual tourist newspaper, which may be of interest to visitors.
TV: Fiji 1 is a national free-to-air channel; Sky Fiji is a pay-TV channel; both are operated by Fiji Television Ltd.
Radio: State-owned commercial company Fiji Broadcasting Corporation operates Fijian-language Radio Fiji One, Hindi-language Radio Fiji Two, music-based Bula 100 FM, Hindi entertainment station Bula 98 FM and music-based Bula 102 FM. The BBC World Service and Radio Australia are available on FM relays.
