Maus bilong Papua Niugini

The humble radio has been the most effective form of disseminating information to a mass population. In Papua New Guinea where majority of the population still lives in the rural base society, the most effective way is through radio. The National Broadcasting Corporation or NBC as it is known has an extensive network throughout the country. Each province has its own provincial stations. I’ve lately been tuning into the Short Wave (SW) frequency have been able to recieive Radio East New Britain, Radio Sandaun, Radio Madang, Radio Milne Bay, Radio Bougainville and more recently Radio Western. The National Radio is based in Port Moresby and is heard via SW1 and 2, FM and MW. This year 2012, many will be tuning into their radio to hear the elections results.

Find below are the frequencies for the provincial stations with their call signs.
