Splash FM began broadcasting over 2 years ago on 88.2 MHz from Onetangi on Waiheke Island. Splash FM , along with Waiheke Wireless from the Lazy Lounge moved to 88.1 to make room for Waiheke Radio to use 88.3 from Seaview Rd. Now with the new GURL (General User Radio License) pending there is a real possibility that Waiheke Radio will lose 88.3. New frequencies will be made available and Splash FM will likely change frequency. In the meantime we will stay on 88.1 with our new mast and antenna so stay tuned.

2010 heralds the start of a new decade and the end of one that had promised so much. Where is my hover board, flying car, Cherry 2000, replicator, transporter or even a scutter or two.
2010 is bringing a few projects to Splash FM. We are now broadcasting in Ostend on 107.0 and the streaming feed is all upgraded. A new aerial mast has arrived today, a new transmitter from England last week, news bulletins from INN in the deep south, new station imaging from Nelson and a new gig guide.
So keep tuned in for more updates.

Splash FM’s first test broadcast on 88,2 MHz was on the 22nd of December 2007. Two years on we are still running and still experimenting.
Thanks to those of you that have popped in and had a listen and we look forward to even more in 2010. We shifted frequency to 88. 1 in 2008 to make room for Waiheke Radio. Today you can get Splash FM on 88.1 in Onetangi and on 107.00 from Ostend as well as live on the web.

Chris Knox
As previously reported, back in June Chris Knox suffered a life altering stroke. A group of artists, fans, friends and musicians have joined together to produce Stroke – Songs for Chris Knox. Splash FM reckons that this has to be the best christmas present you can give. We have fantastic memories of Chris coming to Waiheke to support Waiheke Radio. So get in behind this worthy cause. CD’s can be purchased from the Chris Knox website.
