Request for financial information and data on listener demographics

Peter Wright made this Official Information request to Radio New Zealand Limited

Response to this request is long overdue. By law Radio New Zealand Limited should have responded by now (details and exceptions). The requester can complain to the Ombudsman.

From: Peter Wright

Dear Radio New Zealand Limited,
I am seeking the following information:
1. The actual operational running costs of RNZ Concert for the last 5 financial years (as only RNZ total figures are available in your annual reports).
2. What percentage of New Zealanders in the following age brackets currently listen to the radio weekly, and the average number of hours per week: 10-17 years, 18-34 years; 35-64 years, 65 years and over.
3. Please provide a breakdown of RNZ Concert listeners: number of listeners over the last three financial years, by age bracket, ethnicity, region, average listening time per week. Please confirm how this listener profile compares to 15 years ago.

Yours faithfully,
Peter Wright

Good morning Peter

Your formal OIA request has been received by Radio New Zealand. Under the Broadcasting Act 1989, we have 20 working days in which to respond to you and I expect we will have our reply posted/emailed to your address within that time. If for some reason, such as leave commitments or sickness, we are unable to respond to you within 20 working days, there is a further provision for an extension of time and I will write to you again if it becomes necessary to extend the time taken.

Yours sincerely,

Maggie Hedge | Assistant Inquiries Coordinator
