bNet is a network of current and former student radio radio stations in New Zealand. The network co-ordinates national advertising sales and shares ideas and programming between the member stations. It began as a loose grouping of university student radio stations in major centres (the Student Radio Network), but is now a commercial network that includes both student union stations and former student union stations in six markets. bNet stations broadcast local independent news and current affairs, and have provided a platform for new or independent New Zealand artists such as Fat Freddys Drop, Kora, Jordan Reyne, Dimmer, Jet Jaguar, Shocking Pinks, The Enright House, and some underground and electronica acts. From 1998 to 2007 the network held the annual bNet NZ Music Awards.
In 1986 member station Radio One launched the Rad-One Card, a low-cost discount and loyalty card with on-air competitions, to raise funds. Similar schemes have now been launched by other bNet stations, such as the Active card by Radio Active and the bCard by bFM and Bank of New Zealand.
