Eighty years is just about forever in the life of a commercial radio station - not many make it that far.

In October 2006, Newstalk ZB celebrates 80 years of broadcasting and 70 years as New Zealand's first commercial radio station, claiming a unique place as an iconic radio voice.

Deeply involved in the most momentous events in recent history, some of New Zealand's best-loved broadcasters have graced its airwaves - from Uncle Scrim, the man of the people a government tried to silence during the Great Depression, to Aunt Daisy, Phil Shone, Merv Smith, Murray Deaker, Leighton Smith and Paul Holmes.

ZB: The voice of an iconic radio station tells their stories, capturing in words and pictures the controversies, the personalities and the reasons behind the station's extraordinary success. Much, much more than the voice of Auckland, Newstalk ZB now enjoys national coverage and commercial success, and Bill Francis shares the unforgettable story of the little Christian-based radio station that fought its way free of governments and bureaucracy to become of one of our most enduring and successful broadcasters.
