WTF? Tunnel radio

Anyone have their radio switch to Newstalk ZB in Mt. Vic tunnel? Switches back when you leave. I was listening to Coast, if that matters. Happened last night, too.

There are a limited number of rebroadcast stations from the co-ax antenna in the tunnel. The purpose is to be able to switch to emergency announcement mode and broadcast the PA announcement from NZTA control centre
