About OTV

For the last 50 years the Pacific Islands have only received retransmitted Western and Asian media which has had a tremendous influene on the society. Oceania Television Network provides an outlet for Pacific Islanders to develop their own voice and enjoy programming tailored for their own special culture.

With regional representatives in every PacificIisland country, OTV intends to gather content from Hawaii to Palau, from the Cook Islands to Samoa and present it to Pacific island viewers through our satellite system. With the ability to obtain and distribute original Pacific island content, OTV helps to build Pacific Island pride, helps share cultures and ideas, and allows islanders to share each others problems and accomplishments.

Development for Oceania Television Network began in 2005. OTV launched in January of 2007 and instantly became the most watched station in the Republic of Palau with an estimated 85% of households tuning in at prime time. Businesses, social programs and individuals quickly became interested in this new advertising opportunity and OTV doubled its programming time to fill the need. Oceania Television Network is now in the final stages of moving into 24 hour programming and regional broadcasting.
