People’s choice:

RNZ

RNZ put in a strong performance in this year’s battle of the news stations, beating its competitors at Radio Live and Newstalk ZB. That performance has been bolstered by the station’s expansion into online and TV platforms, with its loyal audience following suit, helping it to collect 35.1 percent of the vote to take out People’s Choice Award. Mai FM came second with 26.1 percent followed by The Edge (19.8 percent) and Radio Hauraki (19.1 percent).
