90FM ran with a "60s, 70s and 80s" format, whereas all other Classic Hits stations (with the exception of Auckland and Christchurch) were playing "70s, 80s and 90s". Programming continued to originate from Wellington until 1998 when local shows succumbed to network programming. The Kapiti Coast repeater was eventually dropped and replaced with Newstalk ZB. On 27 October 2010, the station shifted frequencies to 90.1FM, to comply with Government broadcasting regulations. The station is located on the Corner of Taranaki and Abel Smith Streets, in Central Wellington. Local programming: Bel Crawford presents the day show between 9am and 3pm. Nelson 89.6FM Originally an FM simulcast of 'Radio Nelson' (also on 1341 am), this station later became part of the Classic Hits family and was known as Classic Hits 90FM. The station broadcast to Nelson City on 89.8 and to the wider area (including Motueka and Tākaka) on 90.4. There is also a relay in Golden Bay on 1269 AM. More recently, 90FM was known as 'Classic Hits 89.8 and 90.4' but this name was dropped in late 2006 after the 90.4 frequency was shifted to 89.8 (in synchronous transmission with the Nelson City outlet). This left Nelson launching Radio Hauraki on 90.6FM in early 2007. **A national realigning of frequencies created another slight shift in frequencies with 'Classic Hits' moving to 89.6FM, and 'Hauraki' to 90.4FM, where they broadcast today. The Classic Breakfast was hosted by Kent Robertson until his last show, on Friday 12 October 2012. Today, now known as 'The Hits 89-6', the station remains located on Selwyn Place in Nelson City, Scott Radovanovich presented a local breakfast show across Nelson and Marlborough until it was replaced with the Auckland-based breakfast show towards the end of 2018. Today, Hayden Rose presents the 9am-3pm weekday show. Marlborough 96.9FM Originally branded as Radio Marlborough, this station was first launched in 1965 as 2ZE broadcasting on 1540AM. The station moved to 1539 am in 1978 and then became Radio Marlborough. A relay to Picton was also established in 1981, also on 1539 am, but in 1993 moved to 1584 am. Radio Marlborough began broadcasting on 96.9FM in 1991. The station became Classic Hits Radio Marlborough in 2001 and at the same time the AM frequency was used to launch Radio Sport in the Marlborough region. The station is located in Cavalier House on Market Street, Blenheim. The main transmitter is located
