Plains FM96.9 is in Christchurch, New Zealand and is the Canterbury region's only community "access" radio station. We provide training and facilities to groups and individuals who wish to make their own content by, for and about their community of interest or air their views, concerns, music, language and ideas.Part-funded by NZ On AIR, we support the aspirations of local people to have a voice in the media.Plains FM, named after the Canterbury Plains on which we are situated, broadcasts over 80 locally-made programmes in 15 different languages.We specifically cater for under represented groups as defined in the Broadcasting Act 1989 such as women, children and youth, ethnic groups and other minority interests.We broadcast from a transmitter at Sugarloaf over Christchurch, north to Cheviot, south to Ashburton, west to the Southern Alps, and into Lyttelton Harbour on Banks Peninsula. Since our birth in February 1988 our studios have been located on the Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology campus in Christchurch's CBD.When access programmes are not broadcasting, Plains FM specialises in a diverse ‘adult alternative' playlist of swing, blues, acoustic/singer/songwriter, soul and world music. We also provide an array of programming sourced from the BBC World Service and other independent broadcast entities. New Zealand music content scheduled averages around 25% per month.
