The Wellingtonians fighting for a local radio station

From Afternoons, 1:35 pm on 9 September 2025

It's no secret that New Zealand's music and arts scene is under pressure and local Wellington radio station RadioActive.FM is no exception

Since launching in 1982 as the student radio station for Victoria University, RadioActive.FM has championed local music, but like a lot of grassroots organisations, it's struggling to stay afloat

In an effort to crowdfund essential operating costs the station is hosting a 48th birthday event 'Radio Active Live at the Hannah' on September 17th.
