Solomon Islands Broadcasting celebrates 70th Anniversary

 


Solomon Islands

Dear friends, 
This month, (September) the Solomon Islands Broadcasting Corporation (SIBC) is celebrating 70 years of radio broadcasting in the country.

The original Solomon Islands Broadcasting Service (SIBS) went on the air through station VQO Honiara on the 23rd Sept 1952. Thus the 70th anniversary will be celebrated on the 23rd Sept 2022. To mark the event, the SIBC will issue a special e-QSL card to long-distance listeners who report hearing the station (either MW or SW transmissions) on that day.

Please send reception reports (with appropriate program details for authenticity) to the SIBC at  sibcnews@solomon.com.sb
Dr. Martin Hadlow. Formerly SIBC Head of Development and Training, 1980-84
