Whether in the lonely oceans or the Australian desert, local radio stations bring people together.

OTTAWA — The very different Falkland Islands (South Atlantic Ocean), Roxby Downs (the Australian Outback), and the Shetland islands (the North Sea) have two things in common. First, they are all very remote locations that are distant from the rest of the world. Second, all three depend on independent local radio stations who keep their isolated listeners informed, entertained, and connected to each other.

Located in the South Atlantic east of South America, the United Kingdom’s Falkland Islands is a very remote, isolated location. Before Argentina invaded the main two islands in April 1982, and was subsequently evicted by Britain armed forces two months later, most people had never heard of this windswept territory.
