Radio Broadcasting Services
in Christchurch Status
___________________________

A complete list of AM and FM radio services in Christchurch with
updates on their current status is now available.

Many studios are located in the CBD, are damaged and no longer
accessible and several locally based stations [such as Plains FM] are
no longer broadcasting.

Main transmitter sites are operational, but several local low power
FM stations in the eastern suburbs of Aranui, South New Brighton and
Sumner have all sustained damage and are silent.

Other local LPFM stations such as Power Hits 87.7 FM have been
broadcasting emergency accommodation messages for the St
Albans/Mairehau community and offers to help stations have come from
other local stations as far away as Wellington and Queenstown.

Volcano Radio 88.5 FM in Lyttelton returned to the air shortly after
the quake and has been broadcasting community messages and
information since.

The detailed list is available for download from
www.radioheritage.com and is located at the homepage under the header
'Christchurch Earthquake 2011'.

Donations towards the 'Helping Rebuild Christchurch' project which
was launched only the day before the earthquake as part of the Kiwi
Radio Campaign are also welcomed through Paypal at the website or can
be mailed to the Radio Heritage Foundation, PO Box 20024, Newtown,
Wellington 6242. Donations are tax deductible.
