About Fiji Radio
Fiji hums with a rhythm as vibrant and diverse as the islands themselves. Tuning into the airwaves, you immediately feel the pulse of this nation, a kaleidoscope of cultures woven together by a shared love of music and connection. From the breezy beaches to the bustling city streets, radio provides the soundtrack to Fijian life.
Bula FM, a mainstay, offers an eclectic mix that reflects the easygoing spirit of the islands, a soundtrack for sunsets and friendly gatherings. Alongside it, FM90.6 keeps everyone up-to-date with the latest news and chart-toppers. But the real magic lies in the sheer breadth of choice.

The strong Indo-Fijian community is well represented, with stations like Radio Sargam and Mirchi FM filling the air with Bollywood beats and familiar melodies, connecting listeners to their heritage while contributing to the vibrant multicultural mix. For those seeking something more niche, internet stations like Suva Lockdown Jams and Remix Station cater to every imaginable taste.
The internet radio scene is thriving, showcasing everything from hard rock and metal to the sounds of the Fijian diaspora. The presence of The Vox Populi - Unifiji Campus Radio shows the energy and passion of Fiji's youth, who are actively participating in shaping their nation's cultural landscape. And with stations like Feminist Radio Fiji and Radio Ngāti Porou, you see the progressive currents flowing, amplifying voices often unheard and championing important conversations.
