Radio KIX FM

Kix FM originally started as a fully commercial radio station in 1995, with studios located in central Lower Hutt, Wellington, New Zealand. At that time, all the on-air staff were volunteers who were new to the radio industry. After the station ceased broadcasting, many of the original staff members went on to work at some of New Zealand's biggest radio stations. Some notable examples include Mike Currie (Thrasher), who is now on Radio Hauraki, Spiros Foundoulakis on More FM Wellington, Kris Miller on The Breeze in Wellington, and David Cunningham (deceased) on Port FM in Timaru.

In 2001, Kix FM was resurrected as a low-power-fm radio station. Unlike its previous iteration, the station became completely commercial-free. Over the years, the station frequency changed multiple times, starting with 106.7 FM, then 88.7 FM, and finally settling on 87.6 FM since 2010. Currently, Kix FM also streams online and operates as a fully automated station with no live on-air personalities. [*]
