Well I've arrived home and finally have sorted the streaming issue. Thanks for your patience. All streams are on air….iHeart, TuneIn, RadioBox, Radio Garden and more.
It's Murphy's Law, as every time I go away, things go pear shaped. Solution? No more holidays for me (sniff)
Please inform your friends that also enjoy The Wireless that we're up and running again, and as always, cheers for your ears.

Sorry to report our audio streams are not functioning. We have an issue with settings and I'm currently away from the system so unable to correct remotely at this stage. I'll do my best to get back streaming ASAP and post when all green light. Thanks for your patience. Mark

Cyclone Tam has gone and we're still here and OK and on air. Also, TuneIn and iHeart streams are up and running again after many outages. Plus, our water tanks are now full after a dry summer. Stay tuned!

....and here we go again!! Another outage and this time it's equipment malfunction at transmitter site. We'll get it sorted this week, so apologies to terrestrial FM listeners. However, our various streams are unaffected. Tunein, iHeart and Rova, among others. Thanks for your patience. Mark

Seems like the only posts I put up are about issues or outages!..and here's another one.
Yesterday, due to our howling, gale force SW winds, power and internet went down in many areas of the North Island. Yes, we had solar back up, but not at transmitter and not at the terminal that feeds our internet cable.
After six hours, everything back and all systems are go.
Apologies yet again.
Through it all it's been a great year and I'd like to wish you seasons greetings and all the best for 2025.
As always, cheers for your ears. Mark Perry

Oh dear...sorry to report but we've just had a massive electrical storm in which lightning caused power surge and fried our router/modem. We are slowly getting stations streaming again setting up new gear. Please be aware there may be temp outages as we configure new kit and system settings. Terrestrial FM is fine.

What a voice...what a life.

The New York crooner who duetted with Aretha Franklin, Frank Sinatra and Lady Gaga, dies aged 96.

We have had an outage with our TuneIn stream due to our streaming server updating with new address. Apologies for the off air downtime. All correctly up and running now.
