Te Arawa FM is the radio station of Te Arawa iwi. It was established in the early 1980s and became a charitable entity in November 1990.[5] The station underwent a major transformation in 1993, becoming Whanau FM.[6] One of the station's frequencies was taken over by Mai FM in 1998; the other became Pumanawa FM before later reverting to Te Arawa FM.[7] It is available on 89.0 FM in Rotorua.[8]
