History
Palau previously hosted two shortwave radio stations operated by World Harvest Radio International. These stations, known as Angel-3 (T8WH) and Angel-4 (T8BZ) transmitted Christian religious programming to areas in the Western Pacific, primarily China. These stations ceased operation on 27 October 2019.
ABC Radio Australia commenced operations in Palau in early 2024 in partnership with Eco Paradise FM, the government-operated station.
