about tbc radio

TBC Radio is a nonprofit broadcast connection run by an open collective of musical creatives in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.

The music is the selector's choice: non-commercial sounds, unexpected gems, and homegrown artists often overlooked by mainstream platforms.

We're building a growing archive of alternative culture; preserving local stories and sounds, supporting community connection, and making space for shared musical experiences.

Follow us to stay in the loop.
