Isn’t that the MediaWorks way?
TV4/C4/FOUR launch/relaunch were all like that, big push at the start and then nothing, like a cat that’s got bored with a ball of string.

And how many have continued to tune in

Someone has a winning bid of $256,100 today for 94.1MHz at Southshore. They must be thinking it’s worthwhile for a licence that has a life of eight years and won’t cover all of Christchurch with a 300W licensed maximum.

Rhema Group has won it after looking at the expired listing.

Big money for a marginal frequency, very close to the high powered 94.5FM. A decent car radio will pick it up across wider parts of the city I guess.

It’s coverage infill - it’s not designed to cover all of Christchurch.

Well aware of that, but still a big number and NZME is promoting a station being back on the air in Christchurch by using one of these frequencies.

While design may be for infill, if the winning bid was Rhema Media as suggested earlier I would imagine it’s for Life FM, not to provide FM coverage of either Star or Rhema.

I like reading your posts Rod but there’s something weird with their formatting - are you writing them on a phone or something? All the sentences seem to stop in the middle of a line (word wrap?).

The broadcaster confirmed Hay was on leave but would not reveal why she was away or when she would return.
Multiple workers spoken to by the Herald said management had not offered an explanation for her abrupt absence.

Bloody hell indeed. Didn’t see that coming. Really bad of MW to close the station so abruptly. I’m just sorry for everyone who will be losing their jobs.
