I wonder why SEN didn’t buy Radio Sport.
Probably would have been too late. However would have been interesting if they’d come to NZME with a joint venture idea before it shut down.
I’m unsure in NZ, where 98% of the commercial radio market is owned by two companies if SENZ can create enough of a scale to make it a success. It’s different to the two-stations in a market rule in Australia. And unlike Mediaworks/NZME they can’t sell a ZM, Edge, More FM, Hits alongside.

was in auckland over the weekend had Gold on which came
through clear as they have a dedicated frequency here in chch we
cannot get it at all unless we tune in via i heart
(i think coast is the same) why cant these stations boost signal in chch sure they
would increase listener numbers as well
They’re probably limited by their licenses so they don’t interfere with adjacent signals in places nearby.
Just celebrated Radio 1XX’s 50th birthday by heading over to the Whakatane based radio station’s Open Day. Its first broadcast was on 30 July 1971.

Just recently, Mark Perry replaced John Sweetman as the corporate voice of the Magic radio network.
Are you sure? the magic Talk voice sounds much younger…
Edit, oh i see, Magic Music has 3 corporate voices. John Sweetman at times as he hasn’t been completely wiped from the system, Mark Perry and the younger Magic Talk voice. What a cluster! lol
Magic’s imaging is all over the show. Sounds terrible.
@nztv @theGradyConnell Will somebody recognise the younger Magic Talk voice please? I think it looks like a mystery to me.
he posted on his facebook page perryscopeproductions he is the new voice of magic imaging
i have been watching the tvnz on demand show “talkback” is he trying to look like an angry Mike hosking
