Palmerston North stations

The majority of full-power FM radio stations serving Palmerston North broadcast from one of two transmitters atop Wharite Peak, at the southern end of the Ruahine Range 20 km (12 mi) northeast of central Palmerston North. Stations broadcasting from these transmitters also serve much of the southern half of the region, including the towns of Marton, Feilding, Levin, Foxton, Dannevirke and Pahiatua.
