RadioLIVE is a nationwide New Zealand talkback and news radio network owned by MediaWorks New Zealand. Its weekday line-up includes programmes presented, primarily from Auckland studios, by Marcus Lush, Michael Laws (broadcasting from Wanganui), John Tamihere, Willie Jackson, Maggie Barry, Karyn Hay and Andrew Fagan.

RadioLIVE was the first New Zealand radio network to begin broadcasting nationwide on the same day. It was launched at 05:30 on April 11, 2005 with a news bulletin by Sarah Bradley starting the Devlin Live breakfast programme. MediaWorks launched RadioLIVE to replace Radio Pacific as the company's flagship talk network. RadioLIVE would be edgier, would not have advertorials hosted by presenters, and would not have interruptions for racing coverage. RadioLIVE took many of Radio Pacific's frequencies and presenters. Radio Pacific changed to new presenters, new frequencies and a greater emphasis on racing through the introducing of Radio Trackside.

[edit] Lush Live

The RadioLIVE weekday line-up begins each morning with Lush Live, a three hour breakfast programme hosted by Marcus Lush and journalist and newsreader Hilary Barry. It includes regular sports and business commentary, including daily contributions from Business Editor Andrew Patterson. Martin Devlin initially hosted this timeslot with a news, sports and talkback programme called Devlin Live between 05:30 and 09:00, but the programme was pulled due to low ratings in 2007.

[edit] Mornings with Michael Laws

The 09:00 to 12:00 timeslot has consistently been a talkback programme hosted by former Member of Parliament (and current Mayor of Wanganui) Michael Laws, which originally aired on Radio Pacific. Laws' programme is a talkback programme - interviews are not a feature.

[edit] The World at Noon

Between 12:00 and 13:00, RadioLIVE Business Editor Andrew Patterson presents an hour of interviews relating to the news of the day, known as The World at Noon.

[edit] Willie and JT

In the afternoon slot, former politicians John Tamihere and Willie Jackson present a talkback programme with a particular focus on issues concerning Maori. Before The World at Noon was introduced, this timeslot was originally 12:00 to 15:00. It was previously hosted by Kerry Smith until 2006 when she moved to the newly established The Breeze Auckland.

[edit] RadioLive Drive with Maggie Barry

The drive slot, originally 15:00 to 18:00, and now 16:00 to 18:00, is currently hosted by Maggie Barry. Drive host Paul Henry ceased hosting the show in 2006 after Television New Zealand ruled a conflict of interest between him hosting its 'Breakfast' show and his role with RadioLIVE. James Coleman took over the show in 2006, but in 2007 Paul Henry returned to RadioLIVE after an agreement was reached between RadioLIVE and Television New Zealand. He did not return in 2008 due to his TVNZ commitments, with Bill Ralston replacing him in 2008 and Maggie Barry replacing Ralston in 2009.

[edit] 3 News

A consistent component of RadioLIVE's drive time radio is a simulcast of the 3 News evening news bulletin between 18:00 and 19:00.

[edit] Nights with Andrew Fagan and Karyn Hay

This is followed by three hours of talkback, currently hosted by former rock musician Andrew Fagan and former Radio with Pictures presenter Karyn Hay. It has previously been hosted by Marcus Lush and very briefly by conservative talkback duo Christine Rankin and Merepeka Raukawa-Tait.

[edit] RadioLIVE News

When RadioLIVE was launched it took over RadioWorks' news service Global News and was rebranded as RadioLIVE News. The service provides news updates for all stations owned by Radioworks, as well as several independent radio stations around the country.

RadioLIVE News advertises itself as "the first fully integrated newsroom" in New Zealand, meaning reporters are able to interrupt RadioLIVE programming with breaking news reports or interact directly with Radio Live presenters, even when the presenters are in a completely different location.
