Kiwi Forces Radio

Some of you will remember the Armed Forces Radio Requests every Sunday evening when loved ones could say something ‘soppy’ and get the DJ to play something just as ‘soppy’ over the radio.  Well here is something similar with a Christmas twist.
Kate Lukins, a former DJ and studio engineer with the Radio Network (Newstalk ZB, ZM/FM, Classic Hits, Coast FM etc) and who now works with Defence in a civilian role, has once again secured access to the network’s studio, music library and phones.
She will be recording a Christmas radio show for our deployed personnel, complete with music requests and messages of support from families and friends.
The programme will be made available to our people in theatre, in time for Christmas. For people in New Zealand, it will also be available for download from the NZDF website. Download details will be advised in December.
To send a song request and record a message for your mate, email: kate.lukins@nzdf.mil.nz with your name, phone number (cell phone is okay) and say what time on the weekend of 16 – 17 November is best for her to call you from the studio.
Final day to email your details through is Friday 15 November, all calls will be made on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 November.
