9:07 Nights Quiz
Do you know your stuff? Come on the air and be grilled by Emile Donovan as he dons his quizmaster hat.
If you get an answer right, you move on to the next question. If you get it wrong, your time in the chair is up, and the next caller will be put through. The person with the most correct answers at the end of the run goes in the draw for a weekly prize.
The quiz is themed - find out more about tonight's theme on Nights' Facebook page.

11:07 Concert: Flying Nun Records Part 1
A text-book example of Kiwi ingenuity and creativity, and a classic rock 'n' roll story, starts tonight on RNZ National.
In the post-punk / springbok tour days of the early nineteen eighties, it took a bright idea, $50 and a freakishly good collection of songwriters to start 'Flying Nun Records', an independent record company based in Christchurch New Zealand.
We begin a five-part history of Flying Nun Records with part one: 'Anything Could Happen'
