Our Memorable history
Radio Ngati Porou(RNP) was established on August 31st, 1987 after a succesful short term broadcast, under the name of Radio Ruatoria, with the assistance of staff from Radio Waikato and a radiothon. The radiothon saw a world record of $10 per head of population raised ($44,000) in total, by East Coast communities from Uawa to Potaka. With the assurance of NZ on Air, the people of Niue, money raised from the cuclone Bola concert in 1988 and a loan from Te Runanga o Ngati Porou, RNP was able to purchase a new station building in 1991 moving staff and operations from the skylne garage that had served as headquarters from its inception in 1987. Since then, RNP has improved its broadcast coverage by implementing FM transmitters on 98.1FM on the East Coast, 93.3FM in Gisborne and since September 2004 90.1FM in Tolaga. With the start of the irirangi.net website in November 2003, RNP began webcasting to the world!
