Released at 1:05 pm on 29 October 2008

Nielsen Media research figures to be published in the 2008 Radio New Zealand Annual Report next month show almost one in five New Zealanders over the age of fifteen tune in to Radio New Zealand networks during an average week.

Total weekly live audience for Radio New Zealand National is 501,000 people and for Radio New Zealand Concert the figure is 201,000.

In addition about 4 million programmes or programme segments were replayed via the Radio New Zealand website during the same period.

Commercial radio industry survey data to be released this week excludes Radio New Zealand audiences from published information because Radio New Zealand networks are non-commercial and their listeners are not considered part of the market available to potential advertisers.
