[edit] Frequency allocation
The UK and NZ until recently shared an FM broadcasting allocation of 88.0 - 105.0 mhz. This allocation can be traced to the 405 line system's VHF allocation.
- NZ considered adopting the 405 line system, but adopted PAL instead -- but the frequency allocation issue was not fixed until the late 1990s.
Both NZ and the UK have the standard global allocation of 88.0 - 108.0 for FM now.
[edit] Subcarriers
NZ permits Radio Data System subcarriers.
