[5][6] Radio Pacific became a listed company on the New Zealand Stock Exchange and the Totalisator Agency Board became its major shareholder.

Between 2001 and 2005, this was also complemented by a trial Radio Trackside station in the Southland market dedicated to racing coverage.

It became TAB Trackside Radio on 13 April 2015, when it came under the full ownership of the New Zealand Racing Board.

[12] The radio simulcast on the AM and FM frequencies was suspended on 12 April 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand, which saw all domestic horse and greyhound racing halted for several weeks.

[13] The full-powered broadcast licences previously broadcasting TAB Trackside Radio were purchased by the Australian Sports Entertainment Network (SEN) in 2021, which began broadcasting a general sport format known as SENZ, providing a continuous sports-talk format left open by the COVID-19-related closure of NZME's Radio Sport the previous year.

[14] However, following financial losses at the new station, a deal was reached in November 2023 - also involving the TAB's then-new operating partner Entain - for the TAB to buy back the frequencies and SENZ station assets, with SEN continuing to make content available and to source advertising revenue for the network; the sale completed on 29 February 2024.

From 1994, Sky Television began using broadcasting Discovery Channel to subscribers when Trackside was in closedown.

[18] These were the frequencies at the time of the April 2020 service suspension:[needs update] Trackside 1 broadcasts racing from all codes, both domestic and international, alongside specialist shows.

In 2011, it live simulcast Fill the Basin, a February 2011 Christchurch earthquake fundraiser cricket match, with Canterbury Television.
