About the Programme

Echo Radio is a non-profit voluntary organisation which provides a weekly Dutch-language radio programme aimed to New Zealanders of Netherlands descent. In doing so, Echo Radio provides a weekly information service to the Dutch community in New Zealand with news from the Netherlands as well as community news from the different regions in New Zealand.

The focus on the Dutch language makes Echo Radio a unique service in New Zealand, as it provides the only Dutch-language programme in the New Zealand broadcast media.

Our Mission
For New Zealand to become a truly multicultural society, it is necessary that our voice and language be heard. The Netherlands and its language are important to New Zealand. Please give your children and grandchildren a chance to maintain their cultural roots!

Profile

Today, its weekly broadcast in the Netherlands' language is being beamed through nine transmitters and can be heard in almost all of New Zealand.
