Fuel the Frequency!

As well as all the great music we provide you , every day RadioActive.FM produces an average of six interviews a day on our flagship shows Breakfast, Amplifier, as well as Caffeine and Aspirin, The Flow, Drive, and much-loved specialty shows. That’s at least 2,180 great local interviews a year about new music, theatre, happenings, local issues, and things to do in the Wellington Region.

But RadioActive.FM not only benefits listeners and sponsors – the experience holds huge value to those being interviewed, providing them a platform to promote their project and tell their story directly to listeners in their own unique voice, explaining the work that they do, and why. What you hear is Wellington’s unique local culture – in action!

A Changing Media Landscape

Local content is vanishing…Social media platforms have undermined the traditional business model for the media industry and sadly, local media organisations of all kinds are shrinking – or shutting their doors all together. How do we stay informed, and connected? Local content is needed now more than ever!

We are a volunteer-based community station with NZ on AIR support, which keeps the great tunes pumping year round. (Thank You Volunteers & Thank You NZ on AIR!) We also rely on our great community of businesses and organisations to support our programming. As we soldier on through this economic downturn, our sponsors are also feeling the pinch, and the support we receive from our business whanau isn’t making ends meet.
