Move FM (ACMA callsign: 2ICE) is an Australian FM radio station serving the Lithgow region of New South Wales. It was opened in 1996 as KISS 95.3.
History
In 1996 Midwest Radio Network sought and was granted a licence to establish an FM radio station to complement 2LT. The company was granted a license to broadcast on 95.3MHz and began operating as KISS 95.3. Later a frequency conflict with a Sydney station led to a change to 107.9 MHz and a name change. Finally in 2011 the station was renamed to MoveFM.[1]
On 15 April 2004 Move FM's former frequency was auctioned for $106 million by the Australian Broadcasting Tribunal. In exchange the Tribunal awarded Midwest two licences for additional FM frequencies and areas, allowing it and sister station 2LT to extend coverage by operating repeater stations in Katoomba and the Blue Mountains.[2][3] After various technical issues, the translators entered service in February 2015.
