This 128kbps AAC stream carries RNZ National, the public broadcaster's flagship speech network, in clean stereo sound for online listeners. The schedule is anchored by serious journalism and storytelling: Morning Report at breakfast, Nine to Noon mid-morning, Checkpoint in the late afternoon and long-form documentaries and arts programmes at night. Parliamentary coverage, Māori perspectives and New Zealand music all feature across the week. It is the same trusted, advertising-free service heard on FM and AM transmitters from Kaitaia to Invercargill.
