Radio Samoa broadcasts on 1593 AM from Auckland, transmitting from Henderson to the largest Samoan community outside Samoa itself. Based in Manukau, the station serves its listeners in Gagana Samoa and English with news, talk, interviews and music grounded in Samoan cultural protocol and values. Community leaders, government figures, businesses and artists are regular guests, and the station's stated mission is to inform and uplift the Samoan community — raising awareness of the issues that affect Samoan families in New Zealand and keeping a global diaspora connected to home.
