Current situation in New Zealand Top
Last update: 20-08-2010 - older versions

New Zealand's government owned broadast and telecoms company, Kordiia, has been operating a DAB test service in Auckland and Wellington since October 2006.  The multiplex currently delivers a mix of DAB and DAB+ services, including nine audio channels, slideshow and EPG.

Originally, New Zealand's digital radio allocation was in the L-Band, but the majority of broadcasters prefer spectrum in Band III.  Band III, however, is currently being used for terrestrial telelvision, so it is unlikely that a full roll out of services will happen much before 2012 by which time TV will be digital in New Zealand.

Digital radio services in New Zealand are expected to be broadcast in DAB+.
