Sitiveni Halofaki, General Manager for FIJI TV said “We are proud to continue the long tradition of the broadcast of the Pacific Games in Fiji. The Pacific Games are a huge draw in Fiji, and providing our viewers with coverage of Fijian athletes competing against the best in the Pacific is a huge draw.

We are pleased to be able to contribute to the Host Broadcast team, to ensure great coverage of the Games from Honiara this November.”

Sol2023 under the direction of the Games Organizing Committee, will be undertaking the Host Broadcast of the Games, and will cover all 24 sports in a variety of means.
