Well, there is! V3FM is your local radio station, based at Karaka. We broadcast online 24/7 and play decent music that we all know and love. No crop, no rap. Just decent music.
We are going to be introducing a talkback show.. would you like this in your community? Would you support it? Talking about newsworthy things, items of local interest, stuff you really want to get your teeth into.
Also, on Sundays from 7pm we run "Nothing but old 45s" - a syndicated radio show from America featuring legendary radio personality Larry Kratka.
On Saturdays, we run Rob Walkers "Retro weekly top 40" - a great NZ produced show.

"We have a lovely young couple across the road from us at number 13, Glenaven Drive, called Kirsty and Jeremy. We have recently moved to Motueka and they have been very helpful and friendly right from the start. During Lockdown they did shopping for us and let us have soil from their excavations for our garden improvements. Later on, they have given us lemons, gave spare concrete when they had some delivered for themselves and watered our plants when we were able to go away and visit our new grandchild. They are gems and have made us really happy that we've chosen Motueka as our home."

From turning the roof of an old church into a lush backyard gazebo to making 50-year-old furniture look brand new with some white paint to turning actual rubbish into a toddler’s toy set, lots of Kiwis are upcycling.
If you have an project that you'd like to show off – whether you’ve given something a fresh coat of paint or entirely changed its use – enter it into Resene's Upcycling Awards on Neighbourly here. Entries close at midnight on August 2, 2020. Four great prizes worth $500 are up for grabs: a $200 Resene voucher and a $300 Prezzy card.
Our reporter Brook Sabin reckons this is one trip every Kiwi should try to do in their lifetime. Read more on the link below. Would you do it?
