We have many WIFT members at New Zealand On Air, and we so appreciate their ongoing support. This month NZOA is celebrating 30 years!
Over that time NZ On Air has:
- Funded more than 26,000 hours of screen content, and in doing so supported the independent production community to grow and now hold its own internationally;
- Funded 4062 music singles and videos, and 222 albums, underpinning a thriving NZ music community and driving local music on commercial radio to around 18% now;
- Supported community access radio to grow from five stations to 12, broadcasting and streaming content in more than 49 languages for our increasingly diverse communities.
Many happy returns NZOA!
