The company specializes in broadcast television and radio, owning and operating numerous radio brands, including Mai FM, The Edge, George FM, More FM, The Breeze, The Rock, The Sound, Magic, Humm, and Channel X, alongside its streaming application, rova.
MediaWorks NZ's radio stations are reportedly prepared for sale, while a top radio industry leader is working remotely following a staff member's complaint, according to news from February 18, 2026. This development follows discussions earlier in February regarding a potential shake-up for MediaWorks, stemming from the sale of its owner, QMS, to Australia's Nine Entertainment. Previously, on January 29, 2026, industry reports outlined the implications for MediaWorks and its New Zealand radio stations after Nine's A$850 million acquisition of QMS, which operates as MediaWorks' sister company.
