What we publish, and where each part came from

What we say	Read from	When
Description Kalofiama o e Amanaki is a Tongan church broadcaster whose home is a Facebook page in Nuku'alofa, and it introduces itself in Tongan as the radio of the SUTT. What it does, it does live: the page streams straight to its followers rather than pointing them at a dial position or a website of its own. Services, choir festivals and church gatherings make up most of what goes out, including events held by the church's New Zealand congregations, so the audience it speaks to reaches well beyond the islands. Everything is in Tongan, from the page's own introduction to the hymn singing. With fifteen thousand followers and reels drawing tens of thousands of views each, it is a substantial pulpit for a broadcaster that names no transmitter anywhere.

Contact route no email, no telephone, no form and no website; Facebook's own "Contact and basic info" tab for the profile reports "No contact info to show" and "No links to show" under websites and social links, so the only route is the Facebook profile itself, a comment on one of its live broadcasts or a Messenger message. Where I looked: the profile's Intro text, its About overview and its Contact-and-basic-info tab, all read in a browser pane because Facebook answers curl with HTTP 400; the Intro names the broadcast and the city but publishes no address or number.

Music Religious broadcasting, church services and choral music	Kalofiama O E Amanaki, the broadcaster's own page	2026
Language Tongan	Kalofiama O E Amanaki, the broadcaster's own page	2026
Kind Live church services and choral performance, talk	Kalofiama O E Amanaki, the broadcaster's own page	2026
Worth knowing It broadcasts by livestreaming to its own Facebook page, and its Tongan introduction says exactly that in so many words: the page is the outlet, not a shop window for one.	Kalofiama O E Amanaki, the broadcaster's own page	2026
Where Nuku'alofa, Tonga. No frequency stated by the broadcaster.	Kalofiama O E Amanaki, the broadcaster's own page	2026
Programmes None named with airtimes.	Kalofiama O E Amanaki, the broadcaster's own page	2026

What we corrected

Nothing. This station's entry matched what its own site says, which is worth recording: a clean check is a result, not an absence of one.

What we found and did not publish

Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.

What we could have said	Why we did not
Four people named in a recent post, Rev Etuate Manuofetoa, Mele Havea, Evelini Haangana and Rev Seneti Fiusati	they are listed against "Lea 1", "Lea 2" and "Lea 3", the speakers at a September choir festival. They are participants at a single event, not the station's presenters, and seating them in a presenter's chair is the error this field exists to avoid. source
The expansion of SUTT into the church's full name	the page writes only the acronym and never spells it out. Naming the denomination in full would be my own reading rather than the broadcaster's statement, so I left the acronym as it stands. source
99.0 MHz FM as its frequency	that figure comes from a directory. The broadcaster states no frequency at all and says it broadcasts live on the page itself, so I published no dial position. source
A New Zealand origin	one featured post covers a SUTT Vahefonua NZ gathering, but the profile itself says Nuku'alofa and the post is coverage of a district event rather than evidence of where the broadcaster sits. source
A two and a half hour video on the page headed "Radio Tamaohi was live"	that broadcast is credited to a differently named station. I did not fold it into this station's output, and I did not treat Radio Tamaohi as another name for this one. source
naming a CONTACT_URL	the operator has no site of its own, the stored homepage is a Facebook page, and a platform URL may not go in that field source

If you think something here is wrong

Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.

Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research current as at 2026.
