West Coast Radio is the local station for the West Coast of the South Island, serving communities including Greymouth, Hokitika and Westport in a region defined by mining, farming, tourism and a famously independent spirit. It provides local news, weather — vital in one of New Zealand’s wettest regions — community notices and a familiar mix of music for Coasters. In a geographically stretched region where national media can feel distant, a locally focused station remains an important daily connection between small towns.
