Latest Decisions
Essentials
We provide operating funding to some Access and Pacific radio stations, including Niu FM and 531pi.
We also call for regional television programme applications once a year.
Regional Television Programmes
We support contestable applications for TV news and information programmes serving regional audiences. Assistance for DSO transition may also be available.
Access and Pacific Radio
Our targeted funding helps regional and other communities talk to each other and to all New Zealanders on the radio.
