The Kiwi Forces Radio programme has been recorded especially for our deployed personnel who are away this Christmas, but it's also available here for all their friends and family in New Zealand to listen to.

It starts with a goodwill message from CDFand Commander Joint Forces NZ  then goes into a couple of hours of song requests and messages from loved ones.  Some of the messages are hilarious, all are heartwarming.

The song requests range from The Pogues to Six60 to Celine Dion, so there’ll be something in there for everyone. 

Copies of the programme have been sent to the missions, and will reach the Kiwis in time for Christmas.

Our thanks goes to Kate Lukins, an ex-radio DJ who is now a NZDF civilian based at Defence Logistics Command and The Radio Network, who donated 20 hours of studio time for this project.

Kiwi Forces Radio is a 4 1/2 hour radio show made for our deployed personnel.  We have broken the show down in to 13  20 minute segments for your listening pleasure these are listed below.
