Mix rebrand to Gold FM Updates

Hi Paddy

I have made changes to your content update to relate just to Mix/Gold FM and to read as factual content rather than as a broadcaster's press release/point of view.

As a result of my updates to your content I have reconsidered the updates that I have made for Gold AM on the Radio Sport and Newstalk ZB pages. More detail regarding Gold AM/FM formats, etc would be appropriate on a "Gold (radio station New Zealand)" page. It's going to get confusing as there is an existing and unrelated Gold FM network in the Coromandel region.

No doubt, another editor will improve on our efforts.

Kind regards

NZME Radio: Gold AM & Gold FM

As David101.100.130.249 (talk) informed me just a short time ago, my content updates in regard to a new NZME-owned radio station, Gold, have just been amended and read as factual content rather than as a press release or point of view by NZME Radio. However, the new station is not to be confused with an existing and unrelated Gold FM network which broadcasts to the Coromandel area.

I have excellent knowledge of the New Zealand media and I am contributing to the greater media industry through online and social media. According to my uncle, political commentator and blogger Shane Te Pou, he took me to NZME's Auckland headquarters for a tour and introduced me to its staff, including Larry Williams, who hosted Newstalk ZB's drive show until he was replaced by Heather du Plessis-Allan last year (2019). It happened two years ago (2018).

Until next time - stay classy, New Zealand!

From Patrick Te Pou (Paddy)

Suggestions | Gold AM/FM and citing the same document multiple times in the same article

Hi Paddy

Saw your updates - nice and tidy. May I suggest labelling 105.4 as Gold FM and 1332 as Gold AM as there are differences between the two per the article. Interestingly though, the article didn't indicate which programme would be on the former Radio Sport frequencies that are FM in some places! For those towns I'd simply record as Gold until the change is documented by the broadcaster.

Where a website is cited more than once in the same article you can use a different syntax for the first instance and then a really compact method for second and subsequent instances. See below for the <ref name =""> example using the NZ Herald Gold story and in the source coding for the syntax.

1st instance^[1]
2nd and subsequent instances^[1]

Hope you find these suggestions helpful.

Regards

Gold and Gold AM

A new radio network from New Zealand Media and Entertainment (NZME) commences this Wednesday (1 July).

Gold is a greatest hits network from NZME and plays everything from The Beatles to Bowie, the Stones to Springsteen, Pink Floyd to The Police and thousands more. Gold broadcasts on 105.4FM in Auckland and on the same frequencies as the Mix network.

In addition, Gold AM plays the same great music as Gold on the FM frequencies but with a hybrid talk/music format aimed at rural audiences - including the weekday Country Sport Breakfast show hosted by Lee Piper and The Country with Jamie MacKay from midday each weekday. Live sports commentaries are also featured on the Gold AM network, which broadcasts on the same frequencies as Radio Sport (ceased transmission as of 30 March 2020).

Pirate FM (Wellington)

This article is a disaster and I dearly need someone with more knowledge of NZ radio to fix it. Someone alleged the article has an NPOV issue apparently but I know none of the players. Would you mind taking a look? Raymie (t • c) 22:27, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes you can. PaddyTePou (talk) 22:36, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

TAB Trackside Radio

Back in April, the TAB announced that the Trackside Radio service on its AM and FM frequencies would be suspended (as at midnight on 12 April 2020) until further notice. Trackside Radio is currently available via live streaming on the TAB website, TAB app and via the rova app.

The decision to suspend the broadcast reflected the reality of no New Zealand racing being available due to the impact of COVID-19 and was aligned with efforts to reduce non-critical costs throughout the business.

A lifting of suspension of the Trackside Radio service on the radio frequencies would be reviewed once the resumption of New Zealand racing was confirmed.

Then in May, the TAB announced that Trackside Radio had ceased transmission and would not resume following its suspension.

The lists of radio stations throughout New Zealand have been updated. Despite the fact the TAB owns the AM and FM frequencies, I had to put the word 'Vacant' for the time being. PaddyTePou (talk) 22:51, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Coca-Cola TVFM moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Coca-Cola TVFM, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. John B123 (talk) 17:53, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for informing me. Can you please delete the article in which I created? I have excellent knowledge of New Zealand television but it won't happen again. PaddyTePou (talk) 21:11, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Coca-Cola TVFM update

I recently created an article page regarding Coca-Cola TVFM, which went to air on Three (formerly TV3) in a late night slot; unfortunately, it did not have enough sources and had to be sent to draftspace. As a result, despite having excellent knowledge of New Zealand television, I had to delete that page. I apologise for any inconvenience caused. PaddyTePou (talk) 21:28, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Homeward Bound

I have created an article page regarding Homeward Bound, a soap opera that screened on Three (formerly TV3) during 1992. Its first episode is available to view on NZ On Screen. PaddyTePou (talk) 22:47, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lists of Radio Stations in New Zealand | Thanks for restoring unsourced changes

Hi Paddy

Thanks for your recent work in restoring records for the various regions and stations. I don't think there's anything that can be done to stop this editor who I think is the same person persistently making malicious updates under different IP addresses.

If you do spot something that's not correct have a look at all their changes as sometimes there are multiple changes including updates to a frequency by 0.1 MHz.

Rock FM Night Show changes

Hi Paddy, I am the former host of the Rock Night show Mike Garvey, the show the tab for the Rock Night show had been updated with the new current host Lee Weir, however the part about the Dr John Podcast was factually incorrect so I removed it.

The Dr John Podcast is no longer recorded or any new episodes being created, It was a show I personally recorded for 9 years, Duncan Heyde used to record it with me but he stop being part of that show in 2020 to focus on his Drive show, if you need to reference this please check on spotify and you will see it is no longer being updated, Lee Weir and Duncan Heyde do not record the Dr John Podcast and since I was made redundant from The Rock Dr John has stopped that podcast. I appreciate your efforts editing the pages but that one needed to be corrected, Thanks mate. MikePatNZ (talk) 02:39, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome, Mike. And thanks very much for your thorough explanation in regard to The Dr John Podcast. After all those years as host of The Rock's night show, I just want to wish you good luck and all the best for your future. PaddyTePou (talk) 02:43, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
