Decision No. 9/83
Bro. 180/81

Before the Broadcasting Tribunal

In the matter of the Broadcasting Act 1976, and in the matter of
an application by Radio Rhema Inc. for a sound radio warrant
to serve Auckland, Rotorua, and Whangarei:

DIRECTION

THE application was lodged in December 1981. The purpose of the
application is to establish a private non-commercial broadcasting
station in Auckland using the frequency 603 kHz with relay stations
established in Hamilton, Tauranga, and Whangarei on the same
frequency.

The applicant is a voluntary body which established a station in
Christchurch and has since been granted amendments to its warrant
to permit the establishment of relay stations in Wellington and
Nelson.

It is the objective of the applicant to establish a number of AM
broadcasting stations either independently or in relay to provide a
Christian based radio service through most of New Zealand.

The applicant suggested a hearing in June 1982 after the Auckland
FM hearings would have been completed. After discussions with
the Tribunal, however, it did not press for a fixture. It has now
asked for a hearing date to be fixed. The views of the existing
Auckland warrant holders were obtained after the application had
been filed and again when this present application for a fixture was
made formally. The application had been circulated to other stations
and to the companies granted warrants for FM broadcasting.

In a carefully argued case the applicant refers to responses obtained
early in 1982. One of the FM contenders had no interest and the
other suggested that the hearings be held after the decision was
made in relation to the FM applications in Auckland. The B.C.N.Z.,
Radio I and Radio Hauraki indicated that holding Rhema’s hearing
after the FM hearing was appropriate.

Radio Rhema considers that, as a non-commercial operator, it is
no threat to the commercial viability of any commercial stations
and it no way affects the advertising dollars available to the Auckland
market. It states that it would not affect stations IYA and IYC who
do not rely on advertising and run independently of market
influences. The applicant says the 2 commercial warrants have been
allocated and the future of IZM as a limited sponsorship station
has been established and the proposal for IYC to be a limited
advertising and sponsorship station has been made public, as has
the proposed development of a concert programme FM network.

Radio Rhema pointed to public support during an Auckland short
term broadcasting when over 7,000 people attended a thanksgiving
service at Ellerslie Raceway. It has gathered in funds sufficient to
purchase a $700,000 building in Auckland. One-third of the
applicant’s members live in the Auckland area.

The response from warrant holders and those about to take up
their warrants for FM stations was mixed. No comment was made
by the FM companies. Radio I had no objection provided it was
legally possible and suitable for the Tribunal. Radio Pacific
considered it should be deferred until the effects of the introduction
of FM were better understood and that the application should be
