KIX FM

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

KIX-FM was a fully commercial rock radio station with studios in central Lower Hutt, Wellington, New Zealand. First going to air in 1993, it filled a gap in Wellington for a rock station when the former Radio Windy reformatted to an easy listening format as The Breeze in 1993. All the on-air staff on KIX FM were volunteers and new to radio.

After the station went off-air in 1996 many of the original staff went on to work at some of the New Zealand's biggest radio stations including Mike Currie (Thrasher) on Radio Hauraki & The Sound, Spiros Foundoulakis went to More FM Wellington, Kris Miller worked for The Breeze in Wellington and David Cunningham (deceased) moved to Port FM in Timaru.

After going off-air it was resurrected in 2001 as a Low-Power-FM radio station and is completely commercial free. Originally on 106.7FM, then 88.7 FM and now 87.6FM (Since 2010). The station now streams on the internet and is completely automated.
