More FM Tauranga
More FM tauranga, part of the RadioWorks Bay of Plenty group of radio stations, provided the Mount Reef Trust with a huge air time package reflecting the radio station's commitment to the reef and giving the trust a massive opportunity to continue strong community support. RadioWorks Bay of Plenty General Manager John Bedford feels it's an incredible honour to be a part of a record-breaking event like the formation of New Zealand's first artificial surf reef. The air time will be utilised to give the reef sponsors top-level profile as well as reducing the advertising cost for surf competitions and events that come to the region.
