Our Funding Strategy
Overview
The mission to get more NZ music on NZ radio focuses on commercial radio. But we also invest in broadcast outlets that promote difference and diversity in the NZ music landscape, such as the b.Net stations and Kiwi FM.
Funding for Musicians
Music Video funding is for finished songs ready to go to radio.
New Recording Artist funding is for recording a radio single.
Album funding supports artists with an established radio hits track record.
Funding for Broadcasters
We support a variety of NZ music programmes across a wide range of broadcast outlets - commercial radio, the b.net, Kiwi FM, and music television. Contact the Music Manager Brendan Smyth, brendan@nzonair.govt.nz about proposals for new shows.
Kiwi Hit Discs
Our NZ music promotional strategy is based around the monthly Kiwi Hit Disc sampler of fresh NZ music which goes out to every radio station in the country. Check it out at kiwihits.co.nz.
International
We promote carefully-selected funded NZ music abroad, mainly in Australia. Success there helps success at home. Find out more at kiwihits.co.nz.
