About Radio 531pi

Radio 531pi is a prominent community-focused radio station based in Auckland, New Zealand, that broadcasts the latest news and updates from around the world, keeping listeners informed about current events. Established in 1993, it is one of the oldest pan-Pacific broadcasting services in the country and is now a core brand under the Pacific Media Network (PMN). Radio 531pi is one of the most important Pacific community radio stations in New Zealand, combining news, talk programs, and Pacific music to serve migrant communities and preserve their cultural identity. Its community language programs cater to a different Pacific Island each night, and daytime programming is committed to the next generation of the first Pacific Islanders. This radio station prides itself on being a platform for open discussion and debate, encouraging listeners to share their thoughts and opinions on various topics. It typically targets a younger audience and focuses on a more “mature” demographic (aged 35+), providing a blend of news, talkback, and music that emphasizes Pacific languages and cultural heritage.
