Radio 2AP Samoa Returns
_______________________

With the privitization of the SBC FM station [89.1] and Televise
Samoa to Quality Broadcasting Samoa Ltd in July, the government of
Samoa has relaunched the former 'AM540' station of the old Samoa
Broadcasting Corporation and reverted to the original call-sign of
2AP.

Radio 2AP operates on 540 AM [limited educational broadcasts on 747],
and now has a very small staff of just 4 announcers and 1 engineer.
It now forms part of the Ministry of Communications, Information &
Technology and is being kept in government hands to provide national
coverage. 

Radio 2AP celebrates 60 years on air 1948-2008 and several articles
as well as images about 2AP can be seen at www.radioheritage.net.
