iHeartRadio New Zealand has launched four exciting new digital stations across genres identified as opportunities through research and audience demand. Havoc International Airport, Coast Soul, Newstalk ZB 24/7 and 90s Bus are the new kids on the iHeartRadio block.
Havoc International Airport is a non-stop, 24-hour playlist of sonic awesomeness. The tracks are carefully assembled and presented by a very proud and passionate Mikey Havoc, and it sounds best with the volume up.
Havoc is enjoying the freedom of this new platform. “Havoc International Airport lets me play what I want - if I love it, you’ll hear it! I’ve wanted the opportunity to expose my listeners to all the music from all over the place; songs that have changed my life and are still blowing my mind, so it can do the same for them. These tunes simply deserve to be heard. All awesome. No duds. Tune in. Tell your friends.”
Keep up to date with Newstalk ZB 24/7. The digital station provides continuous coverage of the latest news and sports from the NZME newsroom. You’ll never miss a headline again.
Coast Soul brings you the very best rhythm and blues songs from the 60s through to today. Curated by Tim Roxborogh, a passionate soul fan, the live show features on Coast on Sunday from 6-8pm, and iHeartRadio around the clock.
Roxborogh is thrilled about what the new station provides for listeners. “There are classic soul stations around the world, modern R&B stations and smooth jazz stations. But, there's very little that looks beyond eras and plays the best soul and R&B of the past 50 years like Coast Soul does. It’s unique which is why Sunday’s show resonates with listeners on Coast. The feedback has been fantastic so I am really excited to bring it to the iHeartRadio platform.”
Following huge success on The Hits weekday feature, 90s Bus is a dedicated digital station playing the best bangers from the 90s.
iHeartRadio New Zealand continues to grow as a platform. It has over 483,000 registered users* and over 642,700 app downloads^, with audiences listening for over 2 million listening hours in July+
All of the stations are now available to stream on iHeartRadio. Listen to Havoc International Airport, Newstalk ZB 24/7, Coast Soul and 90s Bus now.
