Channel X is a new radio station brand from Mediawork in NZ, launching yesterday at noon with 15 frequencies across the country (mostly made up of the stations that were formerly used by the ill-fated Today FM). Its playlist is veered primarily towards music from the 90s and 2000s, and is presented commercial-free 24/7, with no DJ breaks. Here’s a sample of its usual playlist from 24 hours after launch.
