Gaia FM is a low-power community station serving Tauranga in the Bay of Plenty, heard on 87.8 FM from Welcome Bay and 107.1 FM in Otumoetai, plus online. Because its transmitters run at low power, keen listeners often rig a simple wire aerial to pull the signal in across the city and Mount Maunganui. The station plays an easy-going, locally flavoured mix of music for its neighbourhood audience, a small-scale alternative to the big national networks that dominate the Tauranga dial.
