Gold broadcasts as a network on AM and FM frequencies across New Zealand and is owned and operated by New Zealand Media and Entertainment (NZME). Its head office and studios are in central Auckland, alongside NZME's seven other radio networks.
Gold went to air on 1 July 2020, taking over the FM frequencies held by Mix and the AM and low power FM frequencies previously used to broadcast Radio Sport.[1]
Gold is a pure music format, while the AM/LPFM version carries a hybrid talk/music format aimed at the rural market.[2]
On 17 June 2022, NZME announced that, after nearly two years, Gold AM would change its name to Gold Sport from 27 June 2022. The name change reflects what is currently broadcast on the station which includes live sport commentary, The Country with Jamie Mackay and The Country Sport Breakfast with Brian Kelly.[3]
Gold and Gold Sport carry the majority of the same shows.[4]
The AM/LPFM version of Gold referred to as Gold Sport does carry different programmes at times. These are mainly sport and rural programmes that previously broadcast on Radio Sport, including The Country with Jamie Mackay and live sport commentary including Super Rugby, All Black tests, and netball.[2]
Weekend hosts on Gold include Grant Kereama and Dan Bernstone. Gold Sport also broadcasts live international and domestic sports commentaries.
Gold broadcasts on AM and FM frequencies as a network across New Zealand and streams on iHeartRadio.[5]
