Internet Radio Stations
[edit]The rise in internet radio stations has been prevalent in Wellington. Mouthfull Radio is the contemporary station that showcases community online radio from Wellington. Most stations also use an m3u stream on their website so you can listen online if you are outside of the band of radio in proximity.
Decommissioned frequencies
[edit]The following frequencies were previously used in the Wellington region, but most were decommissioned in the reallocation of frequencies in October 2010.
It is unlikely that most of these FM frequencies will be re-used as most do not fit within the current band spacing plan. Possible exceptions are 102.1/102.9 FM and 96.9 FM that fit the band plans for Wellington and Hutt Valley respectively.
