Wellington radio station Radio Active 88.6FM has been given a new lease of life but we need your support.
A loud and proud supporter of local music and creative communities for four decades, Radio Active now calls upon its listeners and the wider Wellington community to donate in support of the station as it works back to financial stability.
The Radio Active Charitable Trust has been formed by key figures from Wellington’s creative arts and business communities, who will work together to develop a new vision for the station.
Radio Active will remain on air, but has launched an ambitious Givealittle campaign aiming to raise $88,600. Radio Active’s listeners can help by donating to secure the station’s future as a vibrant voice in Wellington and world radio. We ask everyone who has enjoyed Radio Active over the past 40 years to give what they can to help reactivate Radio Active.
One of New Zealand’s first FM stations, Radio Active launched the careers of prominent broadcasters including Maggie Barry, John Campbell and Samantha Hayes, and continues to draw its unique sound from the passion and dedication of scores of volunteer DJs and music aficionados.
