Our Brands

Media Bay of Plenty is home to three radio stations, each with its own sound and its own loyal audience. Alongside them, Bullseye Productions NZ creates video content for local businesses. Whether you’re after the right soundtrack for your day or the right way to tell your story, you’ll find it here.

The Bay’s Best Music | Your Local Radio Station

1XX is our flagship adult contemporary station and the heart of local community radio in the Bay. Expect a familiar mix of old and new feel-good hits you know and love, alongside the local news, events and voices that matter to the people who live here.

What you can expect: great music, friendly company and a station that knows its community.

Why it works for business: 1XX is where the Eastern Bay tunes in. It’s a trusted, familiar voice that connects local businesses with local people, every day.

Listen at 1xx.co.nz or on the BayPlay app.

Real Music and More of It!

BAYROCK brings bloody decent rock music to the Eastern Bay of Plenty, celebrating renowned bands, guitar legends and local artists who are killing it in both NZ and internationally!

What you can expect: a rock playlist with a Kiwi heart, perfect for the ute, the workshop or the weekend.

Why it works for business: Bayrock has a loyal, engaged audience that loves its music, and loyal listeners pay attention to the brands that support the station.

The Beat of the Bay

Q97 Beats has a sound that feels like the Eastern Bay. R&B, Roots Reggae and Hip Hop with a proud Kiwi edge reflect the music this community loves and the culture it lives every day. It’s an easy, music-first listen that people choose for their mahi, their weekends and their time with mates and whānau, so your brand sits alongside a vibe that feels local and feels like home.

What you can expect: feel-good beats, fresh Kiwi talent and a modern, music-first sound with minimal chat.

Why it works for business: Q97 Beats has a sound that belongs to the Eastern Bay, with R&B, Roots Reggae and Hip Hop that connect with communities up the coast and across the region. Your brand sits alongside music that is local, proud and chosen by the people who listen.

Eastern Bay Media Trust and Community Connect

Alongside our commercial stations, we’re proud to support the Eastern Bay Media Trust, a charitable trust that gives community organisations a voice. Through the Trust, local groups can share their stories, run their own shows and create podcasts for the people of the Bay.

Community Connect is hosted on the BayPlay app and carries no advertising. It’s a space for the community, by the community.
