The Rock

The Rock sits at 28 of 67 in New Zealand's listing, in the body of the list rather than at either end. This is where most of a national dial actually lives, and it is the part a country hub's first fifty rows never reach.

Three recorded opens in the public directory. That is a trace rather than a measurement, and it is the reason this page describes where the station sits rather than how popular it is.

The Rock is the only station in New Zealand whose first tag is rock, out of 67 with pages here. Tags come from the broadcasters themselves, so this says the station describes itself in a way no other entry in New Zealand does, which is a narrower and more honest claim than saying it is the country's only rock station.

This one is HLS, a segmented format rather than a single continuous stream. It is worth knowing because the failure is specific and fixable rather than a dead station: the address works, the browser just cannot open that shape of address unaided.

The stream is served from digitalstreams.mediaworks.nz, an address five other entries in New Zealand use as well. A small shared host is usually a group of stations under one owner or one technical provider rather than a platform.
