It uses a 5kW transmitter but this has had to be cut in half due to power costs. The station is heard all over Rarotonga, the Southern Group islands and in the Northern Group only by car radio's with wires strung between coconut trees. Radio Cook Islands was privatised in 1996 only to go back to Government in December 1998. It was then re-tendered and acquired by Elijah Communicatio
