Understanding RNZ connection and service problems
For RNZ users in New Zealand, compare RNZ live radio, programmes and articles with the public rnz.co.nz website. A response from that hostname does not verify every signed-in account or app operation.
The checker above requests rnz.co.nz from eight configured locations and shows the responses and measurement times. Compare those observations with the actual RNZ action that failed. A homepage response alone cannot verify an account, app workflow or transaction.
Other checks in news & media: TVNZ status check, New Zealand Herald status check, Stuff New Zealand status check. Compare results separately; these links do not establish a shared outage.

RNZ official website and help
Open rnz.co.nz
Open the website in your browser and compare it with the result above.
Where to report problems with RNZ
Open RNZ help / reporting. Use the provider's customer-service or account-help route for the affected product. Sign-in may be required for private account questions.
Details to include in your report
Station/programme, live or recorded mode, player, device and time; keep account information private.
Attach the checker’s downloaded JSON if it helps show the hostname, regional responses and original timestamps. Describe what happened in your browser or app as well. A report sent to WebsiteDown.org is not automatically forwarded to RNZ.
What to check when RNZ is not working
These are troubleshooting comparisons, not claims that RNZ is currently experiencing a particular incident.
Start with the action that failed
Compare a live stream with a programme recording and the news page; one audio feed is not every RNZ function.
Narrow down the affected service
Compare live audio with a recording on the same device. Note the actual station or programme; one feed does not establish availability of all audio services.
Read the actual checker response
A 403 Forbidden or 429 Too Many Requests means the host answered but refused or limited that request. A timeout gives no HTTP response. Keep those outcomes separate and check the available-region count before treating the result as broad evidence.
How to check if RNZ is down
- Compare the website response. Open rnz.co.nz in your browser and run the website check. Compare the time and error; a homepage response does not verify every feature.
- Test the feature that failed. Compare a live stream with a programme recording and the news page; one audio feed is not every RNZ function.
- Check for a different cause. Compare live audio with a recording on the same device. Note the actual station or programme; one feed does not establish availability of all audio services.
- Keep useful report details. Station/programme, live or recorded mode, player, device and time; keep account information private.
A useful comparison for RNZ
Repeat the same action in a second browser or on another available connection, keeping the item and account the same. Change one thing at a time so the result is comparable. Leave required workplace or school security controls in place.
Follow the website troubleshooting guide for connection checks. Preserve any unsent work before refreshing a form or changing a session.
