What was once a long empty room, in the space of three months, has become a functioning radio station, and a new home for 95bFM on Karangahape Road.

Our wonderful community have all chipped in by picking up a hammer, carpet tile, paint brush, box, or timber slab, and have made it what it is now.

We’re still only part way through completing the build. If you want to help us get the mahi done, please donate to our givealittle so we can fix the studio air-conditioning (before summer! 🥵), patch the roof leaks, sort our plumbing out, and install some proper lighting in the studios. The link is in our bio.

We can’t wait to show you more of the progress as the build continues!

Founded in 1876 in Dunedin, Speight’s has been a cornerstone of Kiwi culture for 150 years.

Established by James Speight, Charles Greenslade, and William Dawson, brewing began at the historic Rattray Street Brewery — now the oldest operational brewery in New Zealand. Synonymous with hard work, camaraderie, and a deep connection to the land and its people, Speight’s has become a national symbol of modern mateship.
