In the past, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in many parts of the world, including in the South Pacific, have met the weekend after the faith's annual and semi-annual general conferences to view the sessions together.
Since this is not an option due to COVID-19 concerns, the Church has arranged to broadcast the 190th annual General Conference via television and radio in many areas which may have limited Internet.
In a social media post on April 1, President Russell M. Nelson wrote: “I extend a warm welcome to all, regardless of your faith tradition, to join with us through technology and to rejoice in the comforting power of revealed truth. I love you. I pray for you. And I assure you that the Lord is watching over us during these troubling times.”

The following is a schedule of radio and television broadcasts in the South Pacific. Each is a different session of conference in chronological order — Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, Saturday evening, Sunday morning, and Sunday afternoon.
Additional channels and schedules may be added to this list in the coming days.
