Gary Cooper and Frank Martinac will be on air once again with Paradise Radio Kaitaia (87.8FM) tomorrow, together this time, from 7pm, but they're not sure when they'll be knocking off.
"We will stop when we get sick of it I suppose," Martinac said last week, as he and Cooper planned their final broadcast.
The station, which operates out of Cooper's garage in Kaitaia, has been sold, and will rise again from Doubtless Bay next month (on 87.6FM), which will not reach as far as Kaitaia.
It's not known whether PRK's fan base at Waiharara will be able to pick it up, but it will definitely not be popping up on radios in brand new cars sold in Kaitaia, which Cooper said had unfailingly latched on to 87.8FM when they were asked to search.
Paradise began as Kaitaia Country Rock (KCR), assuming its new identity eight years ago, after Doubtless Bay man Bob Cooper (no relation) bought the station and decided that there would be no place for DJs.
