Tonga Radio Stations

Tonga's broadcasting began with a station whose call sign A3Z and motto — the Voice of the South Pacific — reflected genuine regional reach. The Tonga Broadcasting Commission continues radio in Tongan and English, alongside church-run and community FMs in a kingdom where Sunday observance is constitutional law and religious programming is paramount. Brass bands, hymn singing of extraordinary depth and Tongan string music define the sound, with rugby providing the secular passion.
