Low Power FM Radio Goes High Power
Latest News from
New Zealand's Micro-Broadcasters
__________________________________ 


Unique to New Zealand's radio market are over 1,350
micro-broadcasters who have entertained the islands for almost two
decades.

Some have now migrated from covering a suburb or small town to
hundreds of square kilometers radiating from prime new local FM
frequencies.

The Radio Heritage Foundation maintains the only comprehensive guide
to these local FM stations in the NZ Low Power FM Radio Guide at
www.radioheritage.net.

Now with over 1,350 entries, the NZLPFM guide is invaluable for
listeners, new stations and existing stations alike. It has also been
the basis for a major historical academic review of the LPFM radio
scene in New Zealand demonstrating its value for heritage research as
well.

We've added a number of LPFM stories and images to
www.radioheritage.net and you'll find coverage of One Christian
Radio [New Plymouth], Southside 107.7FM [Auckland], Hospital Radio
[Timaru], Reef Radio [Auckland] and Howick Village Radio [Auckland].
Check them out today!

At the NZLPFM Blog you'll also find news about RAG-FM [Raglan], SubFM
[Tauranga] and the postage stamp issues promoting World FM
[Wellington] and Blockhouse Bay Radio [Auckland]. Access the blog
from www.radioheritage.net.

Congratulations to Country Radio Invercargill now on high power 105.2
FM covering Southland with country music, and Pulzar FM
[Christchurch] now bringing the latest dance beats to Canterbury on
105.7FM. 

Both have come a long way from serving a few listeners, proving that
LPFM is not only entertaining Kiwis and building communities but can
'grow up' into independent and commercially viable formats with high
power FM. 

The Radio Heritage Foundation is pleased to support New Zealand's
1,350 plus micro-broadcasters with free listings in the NZLPFM Radio
Guide, free promotion in the NZLPFM Blog, coverage of feature
articles at www.radioheritage.net, historic research resources and
much more.

We welcome contributions, stories, memorabilia, heritage material,
audio, images and more about any LPFM micro-broadcaster in New
Zealand. Tell your story to the world!
