A year later Radio Fifeshire returned this time broadcasting for 46 days during December 1983 and January 1984 on 990AM.
To promote the launch to FM, Radio Fifeshire had organised Nelson's biggest outdoor concert.
Australian bands Icehouse and Boom Crash Opera along with Nelson-born Sharon O’Neill performed in front of a crowd of 9000 people at Trafalgar Park.
Also in 1992 Fifeshire networked with Sounds FM in Blenheim providing a local show in both centres.
This change was done as part of a Government programme to align the spacing of FM frequencies in New Zealand to meet international standards.
