Description
Polynésie la 1ère is the public broadcaster of French Polynesia, part of the Outre-mer la 1ère family, and its radio service has been on air from Tahiti since 1949. It works out of the Pamatai centre above Papeete and reaches across a territory of well over a hundred scattered islands. The day is built around bilingual journalism, with the main bulletins and the shorter Ve'a updates alternating between French and Tahitian, plus a morning slot that hands ten minutes to whoever has something to say that week. Between the news it is unapologetically local music radio: Polynesian songs, artist interviews and archive selections of pa'umotu playing and older voices. Weekends slow right down, with music programmes in the small hours and afternoon repeats for anyone who missed them.

Contact route

What we corrected
Each of these changed a field in our own entry. The reasoning is the researcher's own, recorded when the change was made.
| Field | Change | Why |
|---|---|---|
| title |
Polynésie la 1ère
what it said before was not recorded; the
reasoning usually states it
|
An outdated name rather than a stream tag. The broadcaster renamed from Polynésie 1ère to Polynésie la 1ère in 2018 and uses that form throughout its own site, as its sister station Saint-Pierre et Miquelon La 1ère does. Carrying a name the station stopped using eight years ago is exactly the stale information this catalogue exists to be the alternative to. |
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 |
|---|---|
| your note that each territory publishes its own switchboard, postal address and accounts | confirmed for Polynesia, and its accounts are polynesiela1ere handles rather than franceinfo's
source |
| an advertising partnerships block naming a regional deputy director with her mobile number, her francetvpub mailbox and a second-floor office address | a separate sales company's desk, printed directly beside the station's own numbers
source |
| the group developers' mailbox for site and app feedback, and franceinfo's national contact page | France Televisions' own teams rather than the Polynesian station

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.
