Description
Tiare FM calls itself "Le Rythme des iles" and describes itself as a "Radio de musique locale a Tahiti". Its published grid is a full presenter-led day, from a four-hour breakfast programme at 5am through a games-and-music mid-morning and an island-music lunchtime to an urban-music evening slot. The site is published by RADIO 1 SNC, the company behind Radio 1, and carries its own events and online ticketing links alongside its own music prize. It also runs iOS and Android apps of its own.

Artists
None available. The site has an "En ce moment" now-playing panel, but its markup carries only the labels "Titre" and "Artiste", and the station's own Icecast mount publishes no track metadata at all, so no played artist can be sourced first-hand.

Contact route
A human is reachable. The site footer publishes separate editorial and reception email addresses plus three direct phone numbers, each labelled for its desk as "La redaction", "L'animation" and "L'accueil", and links a Facebook page and both mobile apps. There is no dedicated contact page and no web form, so the footer is the only route.

Era
Not the point here; the grid is current-music led, and TIARE GOLD is the only slot the station builds on older records.

Music
Local Tahitian and Pacific music radio, with an information-and-games morning and a nightly hip-hop, reggae and dancehall slot.

Language
French is the language of the station's own output: the site, every programme description and every staff role is published in French. Several show titles use Tahitian words (TAOFE-TI, TIARE AVATEA, TIARE APETAHI, TO'O 20) and the music is described as "du Fenua" and from the Pacific, but I found no Tahitian-language programme and no Tahitian prose published anywhere by the station.

Kind
Live presenter-driven output across the whole published day, each slot attributed to a named animateur in the station's own grid; the Icecast source was up and carrying 51 listeners when read.

Worth knowing
It runs its own music prize, the Tiare Music Awards, with a competition page on its own site, and its terms page names Sonia ALINE as the publishing company's gerante, which matches the Sonia listed on the team page.

Where
Papeete, Tahiti, French Polynesia; the station's own terms page gives the publisher's registered office as the Zone industrielle de Fare ute in Papeete. The site publishes no FM frequency.

what it said before was not recorded; the
reasoning usually states it

Established from the station's own published output rather than defaulted. The full grid at https://www.tiarefm.pf/programmes/ carries a French description for every slot, for example TAOFE-TI as 'La matinale de TIARE FM. Infos, convivialite, services et le meilleur de la musique' and TIARE AVATEA as music 'du Fenua mais aussi du Pacifique'; the team page at https://www.tiarefm.pf/lequipe/ gives every role in French; and the terms page states outright 'Les CGU sont redigees en langue francaise' and names the publisher as RADIO 1 SNC of Papeete. Tahitian does appear, but only as loanwords inside show titles (TAOFE-TI, TIARE AVATEA, TIARE APETAHI, TO'O 20) and in the word Fenua, and in the Tahitian and Pacific music the station says it plays. I found no Tahitian-language programme and no Tahitian prose anywhere the station publishes, so ty would overstate the evidence. Recorded here so a later reviewer can see that the Tahitian question was checked and not assumed away. |
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 |
|---|---|
| Two numbers that read like FM frequencies, 87,6 and 95,6, found in the homepage source | They sit inside the emoji-support detection script, not in any station text, and publishing either as a frequency would invent a fact the station never states.
source |
| The footer copyright line "Tiare FM - 2020 -" | A stale year is not evidence about the station, and reporting it would imply something about when it last operated when its stream and grid are both current.
source |
| A page at /test/ listed in the site's own page index | A test stub with no content, not something the station published as information.

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.
