We want to help bring your ideas to life!
It doesn’t matter what your skill level is, Plains FM has space for everyone! We will support you in learning everything you need to know to start hosting your own show.
What happens next?
First, fill in our Airtime application form so we have more of an idea about what type of show you want to create.
One of Plains FM's friendly staff members will get in contact to organise a station visit and together we will come up with a plan for your training and show creation.
What does the training involve? Is it all technical?
No! First, we will look at the Broadcasting Standards and how to construct a show. We do offer training on recording, editing and going live to air but if you need extra help you will be able to work with a producer.
Costs
Plains FM rates are heavily subsidised by New Zealand On Air but this funding does not cover all of the station's costs. For this reason, we charge the following airtime rates + a one-off training fee of $50.00 + GST.
Groups represented by Section 36C of the Broadcasting Act: Women, children, youth, people with disabilities, minorities (including people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities)
