Shame. Seems like a good guy. If he’s going then that’s probably it - he is Today FM. Can’t see it still existing in its current form in 12 months’ time. Radio 2, anyone? ---

Someone has a winning bid of $256,100 today for 94.1MHz at Southshore. They must be thinking it’s worthwhile for a licence that has a life of eight years and won’t cover all of Christchurch with a 300W licensed maximum. ---

> [@DLK](#): > > Someone has a winning bid of $256,100 today for 94.1MHz at Southshore. Rhema Group has won it after looking at the expired listing. Big money for a marginal frequency, very close to the high powered 94.5FM. A decent car radio will pick it up across wider parts of the city I guess. ---

While design may be for infill, if the winning bid was Rhema Media as suggested earlier I would imagine it’s for Life FM, not to provide FM coverage of either Star or Rhema. ---
