CanWest expands

CanWest RadioWorks yesterday applied for clearance to buy radio licences in Northland.

The Commerce Commission said CanWest had applied for clearance to buy new radio FM spectrum licences allocated by the Ministry of Economic Development. RadioWorks is establishing a new network to provide broadcasting services to the Northland area.

RadioWorks is seeking clearance to acquire six new licences: 90.00 MHz at Maungataniwha (Far North); 92.40 MHz at Parahaki (Whangarei); 91.60 MHZ and 94.00 MHz at Horokaka (Whangarei); and 91.60 MHz and 94.00 MHz at Hikurangi (Mid North).

If allowed, CanWest would introduce two new stations.
