Channel X is a New Zealand classic alternative music station owned by MediaWorks. The station can be heard in 16 markets across New Zealand, and online through MediaWorks's streaming platform, rova.[1] The station plays uninterrupted music from the 1990s to 2010s with occasional one-liners or station IDs.[2] The station does not have announcers and does not air news, sport, weather or traffic information. It does have occasional advertising.

History

Channel X began on 8 May 2023, following the demise of news and talk station Today FM on 30 March. Regions where another brand was not allocated ran a music-only playlist of songs from the 80s and 90s as a stunt.

In mid-April, MediaWorks filed for trademark of the "Channel X" brand name and domain channelx.co.nz.[3]

The station was announced on 3 May through an encoded message playing on what would become Channel X's frequencies with the station's name, along with a shift in the stunt to a loop of various songs, TV show clips and news stories from the 90s and 2000s. The message was visible using an audio spectrogram.[4] On 5 May, the loop was updated to encode the date and time the station would begin airing.[5]

At noon on 8 May 2023, the station began with a countdown where they encoded "5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1.. hello :)" into the audio[6] before introducing the radio station that "doesn't have any prizes, or shows". This was followed by a skit referencing the Now That's What I Call Music! album compilations that were popular in the late 1990s. The first song to play on the station was the 2006 single "When You Were Young" by The Killers.[2][7]

Frequencies

Channel X broadcasts to 16 markets[2] on these FM frequencies:

Royal Style and Titles Act

A Royal Style and Titles Act, or a Royal Titles Act, is an act of parliament passed in the relevant country that defines the formal title for the sovereign as monarch of that country. This practice began in 1876, when the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed the Royal Titles Act. By that law, and the subsequent Royal Titles Act 1901 and Royal and Parliamentary Titles Act 1927, the monarch held one title throughout the British Empire. Following the enactment of the Statute of Westminster 19...
