[[Radio New Zealand]] owns the network and operates it from its [[Wellington]] headquarters. The network's playlist of [[classical music|classical]], [[jazz]], [[contemporary music|contemporary]], and [[world music]] includes recordings by local musicians and composers. Around 15 percent of its airtime features live concerts, orchestral performances, operas, interviews, features, and specialty music programs, many of them recorded locally.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.classical.dj/pacific.html |title= Classical Online Music Radio Stations from the Pacific |publisher= Classical DJ |date=2013 |access-date= 8 January 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.classical-toolbar.com/world_classical/radio-new-zealand/ |title= Radio New Zealand Classical Music Radio |publisher= Classical Music Radio |date= 2009 |access-date= 21 January 2015}}</ref> The network's specialist production department commissions work, initiates music programs, and records live broadcasts of concerts and recitals from local and visiting international musicians.

In 1936, these four stations as well as the YA and ZB stations (forerunners to [[RNZ National]] and [[Newstalk ZB]]) were organised under the auspices of the New Zealand Broadcasting Service. Stations were modelled after the [[BBC]]'s [[BBC Radio 3|Third Programme]], and routinely broadcast local musicians in studio. The National Orchestra (now the [[New Zealand Symphony Orchestra]]) was founded within the NZBS and its very first concert from the Wellington Town Hall in February 1947 was broadcast live on 2YC. The four YC stations and other regional stations in the same format eventually began taking networked programming from Wellington under the banner of "'''The YC Network'''", and these stations in 1975 unified nationwide to form the "'''Concert Programme'''" under a reorganised [[Radio New Zealand]].<ref name="A turning point for radio">{{cite web|url=http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/radio/page-4 |title=A turning point for radio |publisher=[[Te Ara: The Encyclopedia of New Zealand]] |date=17 November 2014 |access-date=30 January 2015}}</ref> === Breakup of RNZ === The growth of private commercial radio and Radio New Zealand's commercial assets by the [[Fourth National Government of New Zealand|fourth National government]] in the 1990s changed the environment in which the Concert Programme operated.

Concert lost many of its music studios including Broadcasting House in Wellington, much prized by orchestras and classical musicians for recording, Until the launch of the [[AM Network]] in 1997, the network carried live coverage of the proceedings of the [[New Zealand Parliament]].<ref name="A turning point for radio" /> ===Recent history=== Since 2000, the network has aired a New Year's Day countdown from an annual survey of New Zealand's 65 most popular fine music tracks.
