===Pacific=== The World Service is available as part of the [[subscription]] Digital Air package (available from [[Foxtel]] and [[Austar]]) in Australia. [[ABC NewsRadio]], [[SBS Radio]], and various [[community radio]] stations also broadcast many programmes. Many of these stations broadcast a straight feed during the midnight to dawn period. It was also available via the [[satellite service]] [[Optus Aurora]], which is encrypted but available without subscription. In Sydney, Australia, a transmission of the service can be received at 152.025 MHz. It is also available on the [[Digital radio in Australia|DAB+ Network in Australia]] on SBS Radio 4 (except during [[Eurovision Song Contest|Eurovision]] and special events). 2MBS-FM 102.5, a classical music station in Sydney, also carries the BBC World Service news programmes at 7a.m. and 8a.m. on weekdays, during its ''Music for a New Day'' breakfast programme. Shortwave relays from Singapore (see Asia, above) continue, but historic relays via [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation|Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC)]] and [[Radio New Zealand International]] were wound down in the late 1990s. BBC World Service relays on [[Radio Australia]] now carry the BBC Radio news programmes. {{anchor|Auckland Radio Trust}}In the Pacific and New Zealand, the Auckland Radio Trust operates a BBC World Service network as a non-profit donation-funded public broadcaster.<ref name=aucklandfriends>{{cite web|title=Friends|url=http://worldservice.co.nz/Friends.php|website=worldservice.co.nz|publisher=Auckland Radio Trust|access-date=23 January 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160128182515/http://worldservice.co.nz/Friends.php|archive-date=28 January 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> It broadcasts on 810 kHz in [[Auckland]], 107.0 MHz in [[Whitianga]] and [[Whangamatā]], 107.3 MHz in [[Kaipara Harbour]], 88.2 MHz in [[Suva]] and [[Nadi]], 100.0 MHz in [[Bairiki]] and [[Tarawa]], 101.1 MHz in [[Pohnpei]], 107.6 MHz in [[Port Moresby]], 105.9 MHz in [[Honiara]], 99.0 MHz in [[Port Vila]] and [[Luganville]], and 100.1 MHz in [[Funafuti]].<ref name=aucklandhomepage>{{cite web|title=Home Page|url=http://worldservice.co.nz/Home_Page.php|website=worldservice.co.nz|publisher=Auckland Radio Trust|access-date=23 January 2016|archive-date=28 January 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160128182507/http://worldservice.co.nz/Home_Page.php|url-status=live}}</ref> The station also broadcasts local content.
