Some of the programmes we produce or source for distribution​

THE New Zealand RETRO ​WEEKLY ​TOP
​40 COUNTDOWN - with rob walker

TONY KING'S BURIED TREASURE

A 2 hour programme featuring lost material that no longer gets played on radio or never was in the first place hosted by Tony King.
A few album tracks, B sides and lesser known hits and near misses by mostly
well known artists but a few artists
who missed out as well.
A hotchpotch and with relevant info about their background and/or chart success
or lack of it.
Some may have had a lot of airplay on radio ​in their day but somehow been forgotten. 
​It is not restricted by genres or eras
so just as likely to have Luciano Pavarotti, Led Zeppelin, Benny Hill, Take That and Louis Armstrong on the same programme.
LONG LIVE ROCK
A definitive weekly radio series that tells the immense stories of the rock icons that have shaped our world in music.
A powerful connection to the music and
the back stories of those who made it happen.
The songs are stirring.
​The artists who made them are magical.
When a music great ascends to rock and roll heaven (Ozzy Osbourne, Sly Stone, Christie McVie, Brian Wilson) your station gets an immediate SuiteRadio tribute show (within hours)
that commemorates that moment.
It’s all included as part of the complete 
​LONG LIVE ROCK broadcast package.

DEGRESS OF SEPARATION -
​WITH DARREN MILLS

Each week, Darren Mills a man with so much music knowledge in his head it hurts, takes the old idea that we are all just
​six degrees of separation from each other and makes it all about music ... and adds a few more degrees to make it interesting.

The most unique show on radio!
