History

Eco-Paradise FM started broadcasts in 1998 and became a special member of the Japan FM Network on July 23, 2003. With this agreement, it took part in environmental events held by JFN, as well as receiving programs from Tokyo FM.^[2] In the 2000s, the station relayed the BBC World Service.^[3]

Eco-Paradise FM reinstated its relay stations in Peleliu and Angaur in 2016 after the AM antenna was knocked down due to the effects of Typhoon Bopha in 2012.^[4]

Thanks to Japanese aid, Eco-Paradise FM received funding to upgrade its infrastructure in 2022.^[5]

ABC Radio Australia's relays restarted on May 3, 2024 after an agreement signed between the two broadcasters.^[6]
