New Zealand’s first and only radio station dedicated to the trucking industry will be launching soon.
Trucking Radio 24/7, hosted by New Zealand Trucking Media, is designed to keep the vital transport industry moving with a mix of music, roading reports, industry-based interviews, competitions and much more.
Trucking Radio 24/7 will be available on iHeart Radio. You will also be able to listen online via the Trucking Radio 24/7 website and an exclusive app available for Android and Apple devices. That means you’ll be able to listen nationwide or even from overseas.
“New Zealand Trucking Media has had an amazing couple of years with the successful growth of its media portfolio. We have launched Little Trucker Down Under – a magazine dedicated to fostering a passion for trucks and promoting the industry to the next generation of drivers – and through the Keep on Moving podcast we’ve been able to engage with our audience in an entirely new way,” says Dave McCoid, editorial director of New Zealand Trucking Media.
“The Keep on Moving podcast has proved popular with truckies looking for entertainment to while away long hours on the road. Given the enthusiastic response to the podcast, we felt the time was right to expand the concept and go big with a 24/7 digital radio station specifically for New Zealand’s truckies,” McCoid continues.
Trucking Radio 24/7 will launch in the third quarter of 2022 – and in the time leading up to the launch, you can get involved. We want you to help us get the right mix of music. Head to www.nztrucking.co.nz/your-radio-station-your-music/ to tell us what tunes you’d like to hear.
Trucking Radio 24/7 is also about keeping the industry connected. We know that for truckies who are mums and dads, being on the road and missing family time never gets any easier. One exciting feature on Trucking Radio 24/7 will be a segment called ‘Sleep Tight, I’m on the Road Tonight’, for the mums and dads working the night shift. We will record you reading your kids’ favourite bedtime stories and play them on air at about 7.30pm for yours and other kids to listen to.
“Trucking Radio 24/7 is designed to keep New Zealand’s truckies informed, entertained and engaged while they’re on the road keeping the country moving. Therefore we would love your feedback as to what you want to hear; this is your radio station,” says Matt Smith, New Zealand Trucking Media publisher.
“We also have many opportunities for advertising, promotion, sponsorships and profiles for advertisers who want to reach our specific audience,” Smith adds.
Keep an eye on New Zealand Trucking magazine, and our digital and social media channels for more information as we lead up to launching Trucking Radio 24/7 in the coming months.
Join us on Trucking Radio 24/7 as we travel the roads of New Zealand with the country’s truck drivers.
