Welcome to the New Zealand Country Music Network

Message to artists
TLC Radio welcomes CDs from most sources for air play on the eight LPFM
stations we currently operate in the North Island of New Zealand. See
below for email and address information.
Please note that unsolicited *compilation* CDs will no longer be
considered for air play. This is a consequence of the increasing number
of such CDs flooding the market and swamping operations such as ours,
to the detriment of artists who take the trouble to liaise directly with
us.
Also, please note CDs sent without a separate track titles list are less
likely to be accepted because of the extra time taken to process them.
TLC Radio is proud to be associated with
The Joyce Ramgatie TOP 200
Country Music Chart
And Number 1 Message Board.
Address Information
If you have material that you wish to send to us by email,
including high quality mp3 files (128K minimum), please send to
music@countrymusic.net.nz.

The History of TLC Radio
The Little Country Radio with the BIG HEART
* The original TLC Radio station is in Otahuhu, broadcasting these days
on 107.7 MHz. It is run by Robert Dew, who was responsible for the
concept at the start, and who has kept it viable from its earliest days
right up to the present time. He has seen the Country Music Network go
through many incarnations following the demise of the Merv Smith
inspired country music station that broadcast for a while on the 93.8
MHz commercial frequency. The fact that many Auckland people over the
years have been able to continue to listen to this genre of music is due
to Robert's efforts. (PRS, December 2004)
* TLC Radio's second station is run by Ann Pascoe. It began operating
from country artist Ron Hayward's lounge, then his garage, in
Stratford, Taranaki on 107.7 FM in June 2003. It then moved to the
Taranaki Accomodation Lodge in Stratford, commencing transmission from
"the cupboard of the brooms" on 26th October 2003.
* The third station was the addition of WCCR (Waitakere City Country
Radio) on 107.5 MHz, run by Peter Shaw. It commenced broadcasting the
TLC Radio programme in Te Atatu South on 27th June 2004.
* The fourth TLC Radio station, went to air in Huntly on 107.0 MHz on
17th November 2004, broadcasting from the top of the i-SITE Visitor
centre at 160 Great South Road, Huntly. A frequency change to 107.1 was
made when the equipment was upgraded on 7th December 2005.
* TLC Radio's fifth station started broadcasting the full programme on
107.1 MHz on Thursday 17th November 2005 from the top of the Hinepare
Accommodation Centre located on Hospital Hill in Napier, following a
period of broadcasting a test transmission which commenced on Thursday
9th September 2005. The station is managed by Country Music aficionado
Bob Dyer.
