35710 (2026). Hon Jo Luxton to the Minister for Media and Communications: If commercial radio stations that deliver important public media content are eligible for NZ On Air funding, can stations that cannot afford official radio audience measurement data prove audience reach through alternative methods, and if not, why not?

Hon Paul Goldsmith: I am advised that commercial radio stations are not eligible for operational funding from NZ On Air, regardless of radio audience measurement data.
