Auction 11 - Licences suitable for sound broadcasting

An auction of licences suitable for sound broadcasting is planned for the end of March 2009. Each lot will comprise two licences, one commencing 1 July 2009 with expiry on 2 April 2011, and a second licence from 2011 to 2031. The second licence will only be provided once the successful bidder confirms that the first licence is in operation. There are no restrictions on acquisition by parties holding normal commercial licences.

The auction is expected to be conducted using an oral outcry auction process and is to be held in Wellington. Remote telephone bidding will be available by arrangement. Details of the venue and registration requirements will be posted on this web site by the end of February.

The list of locations and frequencies is given below. Some of these licences are in use on a short term basis until 30 June 2009. A number of the licences listed below are still to be confirmed and these are shown in italics. Technical details of licences can be ascertained from the Register of Radio Frequencies using the Licence ID number given below. Note that the non-technical licence conditions and authorities for these licences will be modified prior to finalisation of lots in February.
