We are Radio Southland 96.4 FM – Southland’s only locally-owned, community access radio station. This means that anyone in the community can have a voice on-air and online. We broadcast on 96.4 FM in Southland, New Zealand – but we also live stream online continuously and have a wide range of podcasts of our shows on our website too – it’s like radio’s version of TV on Demand! Radio Southland is here to give our diverse community a voice, so if you are part of a group or organisation that promotes our community or various interests then we’re here to help. We also provide the opportunity for people who have always wanted to “give radio a go” to live their dreams. It’s really easy to make radio – come and see our staff for a tour and a chat and we’ll show you how you could make it happen too. We are part of an Access Media Network, and a member of the Community Access Media Alliance (CAMA). NZ on Air assists Access stations financially, with the expectation that we ensure that a range of broadcasts is available to provide for the interests of women, youth, children, persons with disabilities, and minorities in the community - including ethnic minorities” (Section 36(c) of the Act). We are to “encourage a range of broadcasts that reflects the diverse religious and ethical beliefs of New Zealanders.”
