On Tonga Radio

Tonga is going ahead with its plans for a radio broadcasting station. £15,000 has been appropriated for a studio, and construction should start soon, the Premier, Prince Tungi, said in Nukualofa in July.

The studio will be in Nukualofa, and the transmitter will be able to cover the group adequately.

School broadcasts will prob ably be an important part of Tongan programmes, but pro gramme ideas, and transmitting hours, have not yet been fully discussed.

More information on these matters will be gathered be fore Tonga makes any decision on them.

The Kingdom hopes to begin broadcasting next year.
