Information
Frequency Change notification
The Radio New Zealand National frequency at our Towai transmitter (104.5Mhz) has changed. Listeners in the Lower Hutt/Eastern Bays area need to tune to the new 101.7Mhz frequency in order to receive Radio New Zealand National.
Frequency Finder has been developed by a consortium of radiobroadcasters comprising members of the Radio Broadcasters Association(mainly commercial operators), Radio New Zealand, Iwi broadcasters and anumber of independent AM and FM stations.
Our purpose is to help radio listeners find their favouritestations during a period of change. Frequency Finder will be maintainedas an accurate source of frequencies across NZ in the years ahead.
Why Are Frequencies changing?
All of Radio New Zealand's AM and FM licences expire on 2 April 2011 and new 20-year licences will apply from that date.
However, as this is a one-in-20 year chance to fix up any interference or inefficient use of spectrum issues, the Radio Spectrum Management division of MED are requiring some frequencies to change.
There will be about 250 frequency changes across the country and about 25 will affect Radio New Zealand's two FM networks.
Most of the Radio New Zealand National changes are slight adjustments within the 101 part of the band, but some of Radio New Zealand Concert's changes are significant.
Most of the changes will take place between April and November this year.
