About This Station

**Channel X** is a New Zealand commercial radio station owned by Mediaworks, described as a music-only format with "no DJs, no news, sport, weather...no bollocks!" It plays nothing but back-to-back throwbacks from the 1990s and 2000s, featuring artists such as Green Day, Alanis Morissette, Radiohead, and Calvin Harris, with no hosts, time checks, or interruptions. The station targets nostalgic listeners—69% of its audience is aged 25–54—but also appeals to Gen Z fans of the 90s vibe. Broadcasting in English, Channel X reaches 216,903 listeners weekly across 14 FM frequencies nationwide, plus via the rova streaming platform.
