MediaWorks NZ, a privately owned company headquartered in New Zealand, was founded in 1989 and employs approximately 990 individuals. Functioning as a tier 2 media tech buyer, the company reported $67.3M in revenue as of 2023. The company specializes in broadcast television and radio, owning and operating numerous radio brands, including Mai FM, The Edge, George FM, More FM, The Breeze, The Rock, The Sound, Magic, Humm, and Channel X, alongside its streaming application, rova.
MediaWorks was named the official media partner for Fieldays 2026, scheduled for June 10-13 at Mystery Creek Events Centre in Hamilton, a partnership between the long-standing brands to connect diverse audiences and highlight primary industry innovation. Previously, on February 18, 2026, reports indicated that MediaWorks radio stations were primed for sale, alongside news of a top radio industry leader working from home after a staff complaint, and an all-female podcast replacing "The Girls Uninterrupted." Earlier, on February 2, discussion centered on the implications for New Zealand radio and outdoor advertising arising from the expected sale of MediaWorks' owner, QMS, to Australia's Nine Entertainment. This followed Nine's A$850 million acquisition of QMS, detailed on January 29, which sparked speculation about the future of QMS sister company MediaWorks and its New Zealand radio stations.
