Te Reo Irirangi Maori O Te Upoko O Te Ika the longest running Maori Radio Station in Aotearoa / New Zealand, has been broadcasting since 1982 in Wellington City. Its history and whakapapa is strongly linked to the rise of Maori Language usage throughout Aotearoa. Its founding body, Nga Kawiwhakapumau I Te Reo, through the Maori Language claim to the Waitangi Tribunal in 1987, laid the foundations for today's nationwide Maori broadcasting presence in radio and television. Bi-lingualism also became an ideal for the nation as Te Reo Maori was offically made a second language of Aotearoa. Our local AM broadcast covers the North Island from Hawera across to Hunterville, down through Manawatu, Horowhenua, Kapiti, The greater Wellington area, and over Cook Strait to the top of the South Island. On good days our signal gets across the Ruahine and Tararua ranges into the lower Wairarapa.
