In 2013, RNZ National had a 10.3 per cent market share, the highest nationwide and up from 9.1 per cent in 2009. Market share peaked at 11.1 per cent in 2011, probably due to the station's coverage of the Christchurch earthquake. 493,000 people listen to RNZ National over the course of a week – the second-largest cumulative audience.[1]

Its sister station is RNZ Concert.
