Community Radio Network

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Community Radio Network (CRN) was a network of radio stations based in provincial centres across New Zealand. The network was operated by The Radio Network (TRN).

Established in 1998, each radio station in the network retained its local name and broadcast a live breakfast show from the centre in which it was based and then during the day and overnight would pick up the network feed broadcast from Taupo. The on-air line up included Mark Bramley(10a - 2p) Scott Armstrong (2p - 7p) Peter Gosney (7p - 12a)

In 2001 CRN stations were eventually rebranded as Classic Hits FM or Newstalk ZB radio networks, also operated by TRN. Where the station had both a FM and AM frequency the FM frequency was usually used to broadcast a localised version of Classic Hits while the AM frequency was used to broadcast Newstalk ZB.

CRN as a division of TRN remained, providing creative services, writing and producing commercials for each of the stations. CRN is also responsible for the operation of Radio Hauraki in Taupo and ZM in Wanganui and Timaru.
