Radio Otago

The company sold its seven North Island stations in 1997 to Energy Enterprises[2] and funds from the sale were used to purchase C93 FM Limited allowing Radio Otago to compete in the Christchurch market.

Classic Gold 1548 in Rotorua was closed down and the station was used as a second frequency for Lakes 96FM, and today is used for TAB Trackside (previously known as BSport, then LiveSport).

This summer station recruited local talent as well as bringing in seasoned veterans from the Hawkes Bay.

Lite FM in Dunedin and Invercargill were replaced with Solid Gold following the merger of Radio Otago and RadioWorks.

93Rox in Dunedin was rebranded as C93FM originally separate from the Christchurch station and networked to Invercargill as C91FM.
