Mix was a greatest hits radio station in New Zealand, broadcasting music from the 70s, 80s and 90s. Mix was owned and operated by New Zealand Media and Entertainment. Mix is targeted at 35 to 54-year-olds. Its head office and studios were located in central Auckland, alongside New Zealand Media and Entertainment's seven other radio networks. In September 2020, Mix was replaced with Gold (see below). Mix had just one presenter, Breffni O'Rourke in Nelson. Mix played a wide variety of music from superstar acts such as Madonna, Prince, Bruce Springsteen, Bryan Adams, Bon Jovi, Crowded House, Queen, Talking Heads, Tom Petty and more. History Radio i The history of Mix dates as far back as the 1960s when a company called Radio International started Radio i in Auckland. The station started originally leasing air time on 1ZM, as the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation had a monopoly on the New Zealand airwaves preventing private broadcasters from operating. Radio i was granted a broadcasting licence in 1970, the same year Radio Hauraki was granted the very first private commercial licence in New Zealand. It originally broadcast on 1590AM in the Auckland region, but moved to 1330AM in 1978 and then to 1332AM later the same year. When the station switched to FM in 1990 the name was changed to Radio i92FM broadcasting on 91.8FM. After 3 months on the air on 91.8FM the station moved to its current frequency on 98.2FM and became Radio i98FM. Peter Sinclair was among the station's hosts. Easy Listening i Radio i became Easy Listening i in 1992 to reflect the station's easy listening format. It won best station promotion at the 1992 New Zealand Radio Awards, for a "jumbo challenge" campaign that featured Mike Farmer, Bill Mudgeway, Warwick Rees, Kate Rigg and Alice Worsley. The following year, breakfast host Kerry Smith won Air Personality of the Year for the Easy Listening Wake-up. The station was also a finalist for metropolitan station of the year, giving recognition to other hosts like Bob Leahy, Geoff Rooke, Ed Taylor and John Taylor. In 1995, breakfast hosts Geoff Rooke and Andrea McLay were finalists for Air Personality of the Year. Easy Listening underwent several changes of ownership in the 1990s. A Hamilton station, Easy Listening 97FM, was rebranded as Easy Listening i97FM in 1993 and adopted an identical format. In 1995, it began simulcasting the Auckland station's programmes. In
