Every weekday from 6 AM to 10 AM, the Air Media Samoa breakfast show kicks off with energy, warmth, and a deep connection to the community. Hosted by Papalii Sulusulumaivasa Aiva II, the show is the heartbeat of our daily broadcast.
The morning begins with the devotional service at 6 AM, followed by the breakfast show proper. At 8:30 AM, Katie Sulusulumaivasa delivers the daily news — keeping the community informed about both Australian and Samoan current affairs. The news segment covers everything from federal policy changes affecting Pacific Islander communities to updates from Samoa itself, ensuring listeners stay connected to both their adopted home and their island roots.
From 8:45 to 9 AM, the Talk Back segment invites listeners to call in and share their views. It's one of the most popular segments of the day, with topics ranging from community issues to cultural celebrations. Listeners ring in from across Australia, each bringing their unique perspective on what it means to be Samoan in Australia today.

Behind the scenes, the preparation for each morning's broadcast begins long before the microphone goes live. Researching news stories, coordinating with pastors for the devotional segment, screening Talk Back calls, and curating the perfect playlist of Samoan music — it all happens in the hours before dawn breaks over Moorebank.
The breakfast show also features regular segments that listeners have come to love: birthday shout-outs, community announcements, church event promotions, and the ever-popular 'Samoan word of the day' which helps younger listeners stay connected to their language.
Producing four hours of live content daily requires preparation, passion, and a genuine love for the community. It's not just a job — it's a calling. And for everyone who tunes in each morning, it's the start of their day done right.
