1035-Newstalk ZB is one of the most powerful New Zealand big guns, while 1035-SIBC is heard once in a blue moon. You can be fairly certain of dealing with the Kiwi. 
It has a call-in talk format, with a lot of commercial ads. This was its monster signal (S9+) at the Rockwork ocean cliff about a year ago

I couldn't find a reference to SIBC's exact frequency and I'm leaning 
towards 1034.998 being NZ, but I'll defer to the west coast experts.
