Hîtori Poto Brief HistoryKo ngâ pûtake o ngâ mahi pâpâho tûmatanui ka hoki ki te tau 1925, i te tukunga e te Kâwanatanga i tçtahi kirimana mô te 5 tau, ki te Radio Broadcasting Company, i riro ai i a ia çtahi pûtea nunui tonu mai i ngâ raihana o ngâ kaihoko waerehe, me tçtahi 25 herengi mô ia raihana whakarongo irirangi. I tukua i runga i te whakaritenga me huri te kamupene ki te whakawhânui i ngâ teihana e whâ e tû ana i taua wâ i ngâ tâone matua, kia whakatûria ai tçtahi pûnaha kore-arumoni mô te motu. Ko taua pûnaha te tupuna hângai o te National Radio o nâianei.
Public broadcasting had its beginnings in 1925 when, under a five year contract, the government granted the Radio Broadcasting Company substantial income from radio dealers' licences and 25 shillings from each receiving licence on the condition that the company expand four existing stations in the main centres to establish a national non-commercial broadcasting system, the direct forerunner of today's National Radio.
Kâore i tino nui rawa ngâ moni hua ki te kamupene mô te whakawhânuitanga i wawatatia râ, â, nô te tau 1931 i whakatûria ai te New Zealand Broadcasting Board, nâ te Kâwanatanga i tohu, he mea whângai ki ngâ utunga raihana. Nô te tau 1936 i whakatûria ai e te Kâwanatanga Reipa te National Broadcasting Service hei tari kâwanatanga, i muri ka tâpiritia e te Service çtahi teihana arumoni tûturu ki tôna kâhui.
Company income was insufficient to meet demands for expansion and 1931 legislation established the government-appointed New Zealand Broadcasting Board which was also dependent on licence fee income. In 1936 the first Labour government set up the National Broadcasting Service as a government department which soon added fully commercial stations.
I muri mai i te pakanga tuarua ka huri tçnei pûnaha kia tû ko te New Zealand Broadcasting Service (NZBS), â, i te tau 1962 i mutu ai tôna tûnga tari kâwanatanga i te whakatûranga o te New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation (NZBC). I roto i ngâ tau toru tekau he maha ngâ whakarerekçtanga ki te pûnaha engari ka noho ko te ratonga tûmatanui kore-arumoni hei wâhi taketake o te katoa.
After the war this system became the New Zealand Broadcasting Service (NZBS) and in 1962 government department status ended with the establishment of the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation (NZBC). During the next thirty years the system was changed numerous times but a public, non-commercial radio service remained as an integral part of the mix.
I whakatûria Te Reo Irirangi o Aotearoa/Radio New Zealand i raro i te Broadcasting Act 1995, hei hinonga karauna motuhake, â, ko ana takohanga nunui ko National Radio, ko Concert FM me Radio New Zealand International.
