RNZ Pacific has resumed its shortwave analogue service to the Pacific region.

The service, which airs between the 5 am and 9 am New Zealand time, was stopped in 2016.

RNZ Pacific broadcasts in digital and analogue shortwave to radio stations and individual listeners in the Pacific.

The resumption of the analogue service will allow listeners in remote locations with a domestic shortwave radio to hear RNZ Pacific 24 hours a day, made possible with extra funding from the New Zealand government.

RNZ Pacific will run three different frequencies at various times, at 5am NZT tune in on 7425 kilohertz, at 6am NZT listen on 9700 kilohertz, and at 8am NZT change the dial to 11725.

The DRM digital service during breakfast hours will continue on transmitter two for its partner stations around the Pacific region.
