Waiheke Radio is a not-for-profit community radio station and relies on funding and sponsorship from members of the community.
Sponsorship
Local organisations or businesses can support Waiheke Community Radio by sponsoring our programmes. Sponsorship costs $50 / month and gets the name of the sponsor mentioned at the beginning and end of the show as well as regular mention via show promotions that play all throughout the day, every day of the week. We will also list our sponsors prominantly on the web site and display their support on the station premises as well as at fundraisers and events we attend.
The Independent Network News and sports headlines we broadcast at the top of the hour for most of the day is also available for sponsorship. Sponsors can opt for either the morning or afternoon news. Please contact us for information on sponsoring the news.
