- Choose RNZ National for programmes such as Morning Report. Use the RNZ website for a particular interview or replay.
- Auckland talk radio · Newstalk ZB Auckland
- Choose the Auckland stream for news and talk. Check the broadcaster’s local schedule if you want a specific programme.
Where can I find music without making a playlist?
- Classical music · RNZ Concert

- Dance and electronic music · George FM
- Try George FM for dance music. Use rova for George FM’s own stream and station content.
How do I switch between NZ and overseas stations?
In English Radio, search for a station by its full name, then look for a station from another country when you want to change perspective or music format. A live stream starts at the point currently on air. For a particular episode or a station you cannot find, check the broadcaster’s own service. Availability can differ by station and region.
