Waiheke Radio
The Waiheke Community Radio Trust has established Waiheke Radio as a not-for-profit, community radio service for Waiheke Island. This service will provide radio programming that reflects the unique character and needs of the Waiheke community. In addition the service will offer facilities, advice, training and technical support for Waiheke people to make and broadcast their own radio programmes.
The Trust has recently been granted a month-by-month community lease on a space in Artworks, the old Beach Radio site, and hopes to be making modifications to that space to serve the community with a fully functional radio station shortly.
News

Anyone who would like to be involved in the running of a Community radio station is welcome to attend.
The meeting will be held at Ajadz in Artworks on Tuesday 4th March at 6:30pm.
The Trust has also recently been awarded approximately $1300 from the Waiheke Community Board for the installation of a second transmitter on Seaview Road. This transmitter will extend coverage of the broadcast to parts of Surfdale, Ostend and Onetangi.
