More than 10,000 people have signed a petition calling on RNZ to ditch plans to gut its music station RNZ Concert.

RNZ said shifting Concert to the AM frequency would free up space for the broadcaster to build a new music brand for younger audiences.

However, there's been a pushback from Concert fans, with thousands signing an online petition against the move.

Broadcaster and Media Personality Mary Lambie joins The Panel on The Weekend Collective to discuss this along with the other issues making news this week.
