This Christmas, CBA will provide 36 hours of programming to the top three commercial talk radio networks in New Zealand. Newstalk ZB has once again requested 18 hours of programming from us, with 12 of those hours on Christmas Day to be simulcast on Radio Sport.

The exciting new development this year has come through our flourishing relationship with RadioLIVE.

Last Christmas, we dipped our toe in the water with five hours on Christmas evening, as our first ever programme on RadioLIVE. The programme went so well they asked us for more over the Easter weekend, and then just recently RadioLIVE offered us even more air time than we felt we could handle! We settled on CBA producing a total of 18 hours for RadioLIVE on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

This means that CBA will be speaking to thousands of new listeners, who will hear the relevance of Jesus’ birth being discussed – in creative, respectful and engaging ways.

I think sometimes we fish in a little pond. As an evangelist all my life I’m passionate about being with CBA on Newstalk ZB & Radio Sport. Why? – It’s a huge ocean! Ian Grant

We’re privileged to have on board top quality Christian broadcasters like Ian Grant and Joy Reid to communicate the true Christmas story to more listeners than ever before.

It’s a very exciting opportunity to share the Gospel… and you have helped to make this happen. CBA’s ability to take advantage of this new opportunity to proclaim afresh the birth of Jesus is only made possible by your generous support. Thank you!
