ABOUT US

Radio Te Aroha is owned and operated by the Te Aroha Dramatic Society which in turn, owns and operates the Te Aroha Little Theatre in Honi St, Te Aroha. The Society is both an incorporated society and a registered charity and has been established in Te Aroha for over 70 years. First and foremost, the station is run primarily to provide free advertising for community groups, not-for-profits, charities, clubs, schools, churches and their events as well as local employers advertising jobs and job-seekers looking for work. Having a garage sale? We advertise these for free too! All monies raised through on-air commercial advertising supports not only our local theatre but also local community groups and events by enabling them to advertise on the radio for free.

​We not only broadcast over the internet, but also locally in Te Aroha on 88FM if you’re within a 5km to 8km radius of downtown Te Aroha (see map). 

​We also partner with Waikato Civil Defence the NZ Met Service and our local Red Cross Branch and broadcast alerts received about local storms, high winds, earthquakes, floods, Covid-19, landslides, biosecurity and wildfires in our region. Tune in here to hear these.

​Radio Te Aroha is run completely by volunteers who believe in the promotion of our town as a great place to live and a wonderful tourist destination and publicising community groups and their activities, local businesses and local music artists.

​Our thanks to NMBL Internet Services in Te Aroha who provide and maintain our internet and power feeds to our FM transmission equipment.
