BBC Media Action said based on the responses by more than 1000 people surveyed from across the country, “FBC is broadly trusted by Fijian audiences for its breadth of content and reliability.”

The survey titled, Fiji: Understanding Audiences And The Role Of Media and Communication, used research based on the mixed method research study designed by BBC Media Action.
