History

Palau previously hosted two shortwave radio stations operated by World Harvest Radio International. These stations, known as Angel-3 (T8WH) and Angel-4 (T8BZ) transmitted Christian religious programming to areas in the Western Pacific, primarily China. These stations ceased operation on 27 October 2019.^[3]

ABC Radio Australia commenced operations in Palau in early 2024 in partnership with Eco Paradise FM, the government-operated station.^[4]
