hauraki is certainly not the station i remember growing up
here in chch we cannot even get Gold (which is more like hauraki used to be)
unless we stream on i heart radio
and who wants to do that breeze always does well here due to local brekky show
which seems popular
still prefer the sound which seems to rate here
but not in auckland…more choice i guess

I’m surprised that you can’t get Gold in Christchurch. Gold AM on 1503 puts out a good signal across the city and if you’re fortunate enough to live in the east, you should be able to get Gold on 91.7.
That’s true about Hauraki though. Today’s Radio Hauraki is so far removed from the Hauraki that many of us grew up with that they should probably rebrand it and start fresh.

most of the radios here have ltd am reception
I live on the north canterbury side so is patchy at best
hence use the app if i do want a change gold do really improve the reception and also onine presence
guess in auckland there are so many choices people are spoilt for choice

And More FM Wellington too. Both More FMs have been on air for 30 years, although Wellington is the birthplace of the More FM brand, with the first broadcast of a More FM station occurring there on 6 May 1991 as 99/100 More FM.
Auckland followed suit two years later.

More FM was such a strong brand in its first years, and then slumped in the middle, but now it’s a powerhouse - ever since Christian Boston took over in 2014. Very solid brand.
I really enjoy their drive show with Jay-Jay and Flynny, much better than the Edge’s or ZM’s.
Yes I am listening now and he is great! I find him much better than Ryan
Me too.
as far as content it feels like the AM Show at drive time. Wonder if that’s why they’re calling it Lloyd Burr Live and not Drive… perhaps he’s gonna replace The AM show next year on Magic

@OnAir @Aotea Does that mean Dunedin-based breakfast radio will be simulcast on both The Breeze and Radio Dunedin? Or will Kris Edwards replace The Breeze’s local breakfast?

Lazy but not unsurprising move. If it wasn’t for the arrangement with the Otago radio association the station would have gone long ago I reckon. And because the audience skews very old, their loyalty and listener ship doesn’t mean a great deal to Mediaworks.
Simulcast on Radio Dunedin. Would be interesting to see if they acknowledge that on air or if they just stick to The Breeze branding. The local show is doing very well in the ratings at the moment.

Good on her! Always liked Sarah on ZM. She suffered pretty average treatment with her exit at NZME. Not easy trying to make Sam Wallace and Toni Street the least bit bearable on radio
