RNZ National is changing the pips - the beeps that mark the start of each hour which play immediately before the news bulletin broadcast.

The pips were last changed in 2013 when a lightning strike damaged the clock which sent signals from the Measurement Standards Laboratory's atomic clock.

The replacement sound was a little higher.

Since 2018, RNZ has been in change of their generation from a master clock in Wellington. Now a new piece of equipment means another change.
