AM stations

There are 15 AM radio broadcast stations in Auckland, broadcasting on 14 frequencies. NZME Radio, Radio New Zealand, and Rhema Media each operate two stations (the latter two operators sharing a frequency for one of their stations). A number of community and private organisations operate AM radio stations.

AM radio broadcast stations in Auckland are transmitted from Henderson, New Zealand, where two masts are located to the north and south of the Lincoln Road interchange with the Northwestern Motorway.[2] RNZ has made the call to dismantle both masts and rebuild a new one on the northern site to be implemented in June 2026. Indications are that six stations will leave the AM band.[34]
