Newstalk ZB - Timesaver Traffic

Timesaver Traffic

Newstalk ZB also operates its own Timesaver Traffic Centre, which produces and records traffic information to all stations in The Radio Network. The centre in Auckland records reports for 6 different areas around the country - Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin. All of The Radio Network's stations in these markets air these reports every 15 minutes during peak times(breakfast & drive), with Newstalk ZB and Classic Hits airing reports hourly right throughout the day and weekends.

During weekends and public holidays, the Timesaver Traffic Team also record a 30-second "Weatherwatch" forecast for each of TRN's 26 markets across the country. Some markets choose to use these tracks for the local Newstalk ZB forecast, and other stations such as Easy Mix and Radio Sport use these forecasts and network them by satellite to play simultaneously in each market on the station.
