Music News - DJs Fight For Station

13 August 2004 - 0 Comments

A tiny radio station is about to be forced off its frequency - but its 18 volunteer DJs are vowing to fight for survival.

The DJs and more than 4000 listeners of Blowhole FM in Western Bay of Plenty are appealing to the Government for a replacement frequency after the 97.4 channel it has used for three years was auctioned off.

The station was forced out of the bidding rounds as the price soared to $80,000 in the Economic Development Ministry auction held last October.

The buyer, The Radio Network, has since let Blowhole FM use the frequency, but that will end on Saturday.

Blowhole has been broadcasting on 97.4 for three years.
