Every station in this network is blessed with incredibly passionate and dedicated individuals who keep the lights on and the music playing. This network could not have an award ceremony to acknowledge talented and dedicated musicians of Aotearoa without also acknowledging those who volunteer their time and energy to ensuring you hear that music in the first place.

Five student radio stations across the motu make up the SRN Network, representing audiences in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland (95bFM), Te Papaioea Palmerston North (Radio Control 99.4FM), Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington (RadioActive 88.6FM), Ōtautahi Christchurch (RDU 98.5FM), and Ōtepoti Dunedin (Radio One 91FM).

The event will be streamed live and simulcast on all five SRN stations across Aotearoa New Zealand. The main ceremony will be held in Ōtautahi Christchurch by RDU 98.5FM at the Milton Street Substation.

These awards are brought to you with support from our Principle Sponsor, NZ On Air. Much like the SRN, their mandate is to support a range of quality New Zealand music to be made available and discoverable, so a variety of New Zealand audiences listen to, discover and enjoy music.

The awards will kick off at 7pm, Saturday 2nd November, and can be watched live via the SRN website, srn.nz.

There will be regional watch parties in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland (95bFM), Te Papaioea Palmerston North (Radio Control), Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington (RadioActive 88.6FM), and Ōtepoti Dunedin (Radio One 91FM).
