The only SIP station I can find is this one:

But I think finding an online one might be a stretch. ;)

Here are some recordings:

The problem being that the website says it is both PNG and Solomons which I thought were at least slightly different??

After some rooting around that site and sub-sites, I really did find (and downloaded) audio bible stories in Pijin!  I'm listening to them right now.   I think I also found the transcripts (in Pijin & English).   Well done.  Thanks!

As far as the radio stations, I tried the short-wave stations on my sw radio w/o success.  The program is 6 years old so maybe the stations have been changed or canceled :(     It was worth a try though.  Thanks.  I'll keep searching…and hoping.

I just came across  a site which comes close(r) to my goal of finding an online Pijin radio station.  Right now, they broadcast in various other languages (out of Sydney), but maybe they will add Solomonese Pijin in the future.   The site contains a lot of useful S.I. info.  Worth perusing and monitoring anyway:

Thanks for pointing out the Pijin news reader.  I misunderstood the caption under his photo, thinking he was from the S.I. but read in PNG Pidgin based on the spelling of “Pidgin”.  I contacted VOM to find out more e.g. at what time the Pijin news reader comes on the air.  Thanks again.

I received a response from Phil @ Voice of Melanesia (Radio Skid Row, 88.9 Mhz).

The online reception of their station works very well.  (http://60.242.197.162/stream/)

Their Melanesian program (news, music & culture in various local languages) is from 9p – 12a Sydney time (GMT +10).   Looks like they have a Pijin news reader, Rob Wilikai, but he's on vacation for 4 weeks.   I'm so close!
