Heck, even Twizel has a radio station, yet they (and the MacKenzie country as a whole) are never listed in the weather figures unless there's been an unusual occurence.

Obviously you can't list everywhere, but not listing Twizel is like omitting Kaitaia or Waiouru.

Yes Twizel has had a radio station since the late 60's when it was on 1550kHz(now 1485) 3ZO it used to be a repeater of 3ZC Radio Caroline.
Even Raetahi has Rhema 97.4 and Peak FM 95.8.


As for our weather its a blue dome day here and love it this way for a while :D
