In the traditional culture of the Solomon Islands, age-old customs are handed
down from one generation to the next, allegedly from the ancestral spirits
themselves, to form the cultural values to Solomon Islands.
Radio is the most influential type of media in the Solomons Islands due to
language differences and illiteracy. the Solomon Islands Broadcasting
Corporation (SIBC) operates public radio services, including the national
stations Radio Happy Isles and Wantok FM, and the provincial stations Radio
Happy Lagoon and Radio Temotu. There is one commercial station, PAOA FM, that
broadcasts in the Solomons. There is one daily newspaper Solomon Star (www.solomonstarnews.com),
2 weekly papers Solomons Voice and Solomon Times, and 2 monthly papers Agrikalsa
Nius and the Citizen's Press. There are no TV services based in the Solomon
Islands, although satellite TV stations can be received. There is free-to-air
access to ABC Asia Pacific (from Australia's ABC) and BBC World.
