Description

Radio Norfolk is the Norfolk Island Regional Council broadcasting service for the island. The page presents it as an essential community information service. It broadcasts Council updates, death and funeral notices, interviews, shipping news, local notices, birthday requests, aircraft information, weather and other sports and business information. The station also goes out of hours for cyclone, earthquake and tsunami alerts when required. The page lists FM 89.9 and AM 1566, notes that AM remains operational during island-wide power outages, and provides contact details. It also outlines sponsorship options, outside broadcasts and the Swap Shop community segment. A history section traces the service from World War II aircraft announcements to a year-round operation at New Cascade Road. The page also notes satellite relay infrastructure used to receive and retransmit other radio and television services.
