[edit] History
Radio Live was launched by CanWest MediaWorks NZ on April 11, 2005 throughout the country, making it the first time in New Zealand a radio station began broadcasting nationwide on the same day. Some frequencies of the station had previously belonged to Radio Pacific (also owned by RadioWorks), with other frequencies being found for Radio Pacific in those markets.
The original Radio Live lineup was Martin Devlin, Michael Laws, Kerry Smith, Paul Henry and Marcus Lush.
The line up changed in 2006 when afternoon host Kerry Smith left to host a morning show on another CanWest MediaWorks NZ radio station The Breeze. Two former politicians John Tamihere and Willie Jackson took over this show.
Drive host Paul Henry also left in 2006 after Television New Zealand ruled a conflict of interest between him hosting its 'Breakfast' show and his role with Radio Live, as it was owned by a rival CanWest MediaWorks NZ who also own TV3. James Coleman took over the show in 2006, but in 2007 Paul Henry returned to Radio Live after an agreement was reached between Radio Live and Television New Zealand. He has yet to return in 2008.
Marcus Lush replaced Martin Devlin in the key breakfast slot and made early rating gains. Also a news hour from 12 noon to 1pm has been introduced with hosts Jemma Dempsey and James Coleman. Overnight hosts include Kiwi rock icon Andrew Fagan and former Radio with Pictures presenter Karyn Hay.

[edit] Radio Live News
When Radio Live was launched it took over RadioWorks' news service Global News and was rebranded as Radio Live News. The service provides news updates for all stations owned by Radioworks.
Radio Live News advertises itself as "the first fully integrated newsroom" in New Zealand, meaning reporters are able to interrupt Radio Live programming with breaking news reports or interact directly with Radio Live presenters, even when the presenters are in a completely different location.
