$1.26 million a year on funding allocated to pilot the service from 2002/03 to 2004/05. The network was accessible to 85 percent of the Pacific population from Whangarei to Invercargill. As part of its language promotion in 2005 the network held language weeks for six Pacific languages in the lead-up to M?ori Language Week in July. Two other dedicated Pacific community radio stations, Si'ufofoga ole Laumua Samoa Capital Radio in Wellington and 531pi in the greater Auckland region, continued to be funded through New Zealand on Air. Access Radio New Zealand on Air contributes funding to 11 Access Radio Stations, which serve communities of 50,000-plus population in Auckland, Hamilton, Hawke's Bay, Manawatu, Wairarapa, Kapiti Coast/Horowhenua, Wellington, Nelson/Tasman Bays, Christchurch, Dunedin and Invercargill. Access Radio, which is largely run by volunteers, provides many local ethnic communities with weekly programming in their own languages. Following the adoption of a Public Broadcasting Programme of Action in February, the Government announced an increase of $222,000 per annum in access radio funding in the 2005 budget, increasing the annual total for community broadcasting (in addition to Pacific radio) to a little over $2 million per annum. The new funding enabled the operational funding cap for individual stations to be increased to $220,000 and also enables NZ On Air to assist with the cost of transition from AM to FM, as well as with projects designed to attract new programmes, providing more diversity, and to fund one off costs such as replacement equipment.
