Alan Beagle - Daytime Announcer/Writer
Alan’s been in the radio game almost longer than radio. When it comes to great daytime radio, Alan wrote the book, and his 10-2 show is the highlight of many a local’s day. When Alan is not wowing the masses with his Barry White like vocals and interviewing prominent guests from authors to public figures, he enjoys the beautiful scenery, wine and food of the Coromandel.

Andy Harwood - Afternoon Announcer / Writer
One man, many strings to his bow. Andy, Auckland bred and trained, has slotted easily into the role of Mr Do-It-All. He hosts a very well received drive show, including the popular FVC 5@5, does weekend radio shifts, covers for other announcers when they’re away, writes some awesome ads, programmes the music, and interviews national and international stars, including Newton Faulkner, Op-Shop, Sir Roger Douglas, Dan Vettori, The Feelers and Hollie Smith. Andy’s future looks very bright, and he’s also the best looking person on station…(as voted by Andy Harwood).

Caleb Hamling - Creative Director
Raised in the mighty Nuhaka, Caleb has been mad on radio since he was 10.

Janette Parke - Office Manager
Janette- Her title is “office manager”, but only because “person who does all the accounts, chases outstanding debts, exports commercials, pays the wages, keeps station fridge stocked and generally does it all” wouldn’t fit on her business card. She captains the station from the front desk, and when she’s not keeping all the young creative lads in line, she’s cheering (often very loudly) for the best team in football history, the mighty Arsenal. (Sorry Alex, but the Spurs are no match for my team). |

NBA, radio industry, management…the future is bright for our young star. |
