📖 About

Polynésie La 1ère is a foundational public-service radio and television broadcaster operated by France Télévisions (specifically through its overseas network, Réseau Outre-Mer La 1ère), serving the islands of French Polynesia. Broadcasting since its inception in 1949 under earlier historical call signs like Radio Tahiti, the station has grown into the territory's most trusted and comprehensive media institution. Over decades of operation, it has chronicled the political, social, and cultural evolution of French Polynesia, providing essential public-service broadcasting across isolated archipelagos and ensuring that vital information reaches even the most remote island communities. The station's programming is robust and diverse, featuring comprehensive local, national, and international news bulletins, in-depth talk shows, cultural programs, and traditional musical segments broadcast in both French and Tahitian. Polynésie La 1ère places a strong emphasis on linguistic and cultural preservation, offering regular broadcasts in indigenous Polynesian languages alongside educational features, live coverage of local events, sports tournaments, and island entertainment. Its bilingual approach and deep community roots make it an indispensable companion for listeners of all generations across the territory. Headquartered at Centre Pamatai in Faa'a, Tahiti, Polynésie La 1ère utilizes an extensive network of FM transmitters and AM frequencies to cover the Windward Islands, Leeward Islands, Tuamotu, Gambier, Austral, and Marquesas archipelagos. In addition to terrestrial radio broadcasts, the station maintains a powerful digital footprint through live online audio streams, dedicated mobile applications, and comprehensive web platforms, connecting the global Polynesian diaspora to their homeland.
