Lyndsay Rackley, long standing announcer and Dunedin personality, died aged 82 on 20 October 2026.
Lyndsay “Crackley” Rackley (QSM) had been on air in Otago for over six decades
He started with us - the Otago Radio Association 4XD - also did a stint with Radio Otago 4XO in the 70’s; managed 4XD including coordinating volunteer announcers; and helped to turn our station into a successful commercial operation ‘Radio Dunedin’. He won various NZ Radio Awards including ‘Outstanding Contribution’. In our eyes, a true legend of radio.
Rest in Peace Lyndsay - you will be missed by both colleagues (past and present), and many listeners to whom you were their friend.

Retro Weekly Top 40
Sundays 2pm-6pm
Wednesdays 7pm-11pm
The New Zealand Retro Weekly Top 40 Countdown is a weekly trip back in time to New Zealand in the 1970's, 80's and 90's. Rob Walker hosts the show which is a countdown of the top 40 songs as they were on the official New Zealand singles charts for the corresponding weekend. It also includes a look at some tracks off some great albums that were on the official New Zealand album charts for that same year and weekend.
It’s 4 hours of reminiscing and is packed with audio from the artists, as well as a look at New Zealand news & events of that weekend, and because it's our countdown, it of course features some great New Zealand music : OUR CHARTS - - - OUR MUSIC! The charts used are based on the Official New Zealand music charts from Recorded Music New Zealand.
Heard on OVER 40 INDEPENDENT radio stations across the nation – it’s the most syndicated weekly music show on New Zealand Radio – and it is also heard overseas as well.
