Ownership
250 of these 320 stations are consolidated into 17 branded networks, through The Radio Network (owned by the New Zealand Radio Network Ltd plus don't forget the one share owned by the Minister of Finance!), and RadioWorks (owned by HT Media, also the owners of TV3 and C4).
85% of the listening audience share is covered by these two companies.
The concentration of ownership within these two organisations has resulted in the development of specific target markets, and a variety of cross-market and individual market station combo's that enable advertisers to now achieve greater cost efficiencies in what was a short time before, a very fragmented marketplace.
