Weekdays Since the rebrand to The Hits in 2014 most markets initially ran a local 6 hour daytime show between 9am and 3pm, in some cases the local show is spread across two markets, for example the same announcer presents a local show for Taupo and Rotorua. Local content has since been reduced across the network with some stations receiving only network content. Between 9am and 3pm a network daytime show presented by Dave Nicholas can be heard in markets that have a local breakfast show as well as markets with no local shows. This show is presented from the Christchurch studios with the announcer producing a local voice break for Auckland also. Prior to 2017 the network day shows were hosted by Sarah Gandy from the Auckland studios between 9am-12pm and Dave Fitzgerald from the Christchurch studios between 12pm and 3pm. Each of these presenters produced voicetracks for the network show as well as a local Auckland show with Dave Fitzgerald also providing local voicebreaks for Christchurch.
