A guy called Mike Rehu hosted it until it was cancelled, sometime in the early 1990's, I think.

And the first song they played was "Turn Me Loose" by Loverboy, if I'm not wrong...?

Yes, that is Dick Weir. He is still alive and can sometimes be heard on Radio New Zealand National.
He was the first host of The Video Dispatch, but was later replaced by Lloyd Scott. I think Scott hosted it until it ended.

It should never have been built in the first place using that design. The design was from the 1930's but construction never took place because of WW II. When it finally opened in 1959 it was instantly too small. It did have one first - all the broadcast desks were transistorised.
Radio NZ or NZBC I suppose as it was then had studios scattered all around the city.

Is Dick Weir the first guy shown?
He was the narrator for the excellent mini-series "Erebus: The Aftermath" in 1987. I thought his voice as narrator was very suitable.

The First FM station in NZ was FM 90.7 in 1982 it was only on the air for a month in Whakatane. Next were 89FM and Magic 91FM in Auckland.

Actually speaking of radio in New Zealand at that time - in late 1979 NZ Motor World magazine tested a Lada complete with a Russian radio - until they could work the radio properly (i.e. get AM broadcasts due to FM not being in existance in NZ) they kept getting broadcasts from the Wellington Airport flight control tower!!!
