AUCKLAND, Today: There’s no shortage of apps fighting for your time, but rova’s not here to blend in. It’s already boosted active users by 35%* — and it’s only just getting started.

Built by MediaWorks from the ground up, rova’s now a full-on entertainment hub. It still does live radio and on-demand, but now it’s stacked with video, articles, events, and more.

“We’ve rebuilt rova to be more than a radio app. It’s a content destination that reflects how Kiwis consume entertainment today,” said Leon Wratt, MediaWorks’ Director of Content.

To celebrate, rova’s giving away a brand-new CUPRA Terramar SUV. The promo? Catch rova, win a CUPRA. Just ‘steal’ content and you’re in the draw. Easy as.

MediaWorks’ creative studio Passionfruit is behind the campaign, and it’s only the beginning — more collabs are on the way.

For brands, the new app isn’t just pretty. It’s powerful. “This isn’t just an upgrade, it’s an evolution,” said Matt Headland, Chief Digital Officer at MediaWorks.

The new rova is bold, immersive, and built for interaction — a smarter way for advertisers to connect with tuned-in audiences.
