There's a conundrum in Auckland, where the most deprived communities, with the highest unemployment, sit in the fastest-growing part of the region and where many of the new jobs are based.

7:10 The future of independent radio: a panel discussion

This week news broke that the company that runs Wellington’s pioneering independent radio station Radio Active has gone into voluntary liquidation.

It’s one of a network of similar stations around the country - and the world for that matter – that face some real challenges as people desert their radios for streaming services and advertisers migrate to social media. James Meharry manager of Christchurch’s RDU station, Sean Norling manager of Dunedin’s Radio One, and Suzanne McNicol a board member and former manager of Auckland’s bFM join Wallace to discuss the future of independent radio.
