  Radio Hauraki story
Radio Hauraki is a 24-hours-per-day station, and is as popular for the 2-6 a.m.
Radio Hauraki is a young, happy, friendly station, not only to the listeners but within the organisation, too.
Some of these came to Hauraki as established names from Australian radio stations, but most have been home-grown talents who may never have had the chance for their names to become the household words that they are if it had not been for the Free Radio sound of Radio Hauraki.

Radio was the first instantaneous mass-communication medium; it could be broadcast over great distances; remote stations could be (and very quickly were) linked together into national networks to broadcast common programming over vast areas, whereas newspapers were mostly focussed on the cities in which they were produced.
Radio airplay was recognised as a major factor in gaining as much exposure for a song as possible, but unlike today, where record sales are the benchmark, in the 1930s it was sales of sheet music (which was considerably cheaper than a record).
Radio Hauraki made its final marine broadcast on 1 June 1970, finishing at 1pm with the first song it had played back in 1966, Matt Munro's Born Free, but in a tragic postscript, announcer Rick Grant was lost overboard as the Tiri II returned to Auckland Harbour on 2 June.
