It was established in 1964 and until 2009, published both in the English as well as the Tongan language. In March 2009, due to poor returns as a state-owned enterprise, the Government of Tonga agreed to hand over management of the ''Tonga Chronicle'' to Taimi Media Network and publisher Kalafi Moala, for a three-year period.
