Newstalk ZB is again New Zealand’s number one radio station, with an audience share of 12.4%.*

“Newstalk ZB continues to be number one in all three metro markets – Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch**. This is an outstanding outcome”, said David Brice, TRN’s Group General Manger of Content.

“Newstalk ZB’s Mike Hosking Breakfast yet again dominated breakfast ratings achieving number one in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch+, while adding another 12,300# listeners in Auckland, a significant achievement”.

In Auckland TRN has a clean sweep taking first, second and third places with the top three stations - Newstalk ZB with 12.5%, an increase on the previous survey and importantly it’s 20th consecutive number one. Newstalk ZB also achieved increases in Wellington and Christchurch.**

“We were very pleased with the overall increase in the number of commercial radio listeners. Despite media fragmentation radio continues to attract the vast majority of New Zealanders."

So thanks for keeping up with us, and making us New Zealand's number one station again.
