Kiss 90 was an aspirant dance radio station based in Melbourne, Australia. Kiss was the first 100% dance format radio station in Melbourne. The station broadcast sporadically to the Greater Melbourne area between 1994 and 2001 on 89.9 FM. Kiss 90 had a reputation for setting Melbourne's music trends. The station was at the centre of nightclub and rave culture trends. The music format was designed to unite dance music lovers and showcase a broad range of dance music, featuring most of Melbourne's big name DJs live on air. The station continually broke new songs and gave airplay to many artists for the first time on Australian radio, pushing many into the mainstream charts. Kiss is also credited with significantly influencing the sound of radio in the southern capital. This resulted in mainstream commercial radio stations introducing more dance music into their playlists and Fox FM dropping classic rock for a Rhythmic CHR format in the late '90s. ==Licensing== Kiss 90 was licensed as an 'aspirant' community broadcaster and created to foster Melbourne's dance music culture. The station's mission was to achieve a full-time Melbourne-wide community licence. Kiss conducted a number of broadcasts to gain listen support and convince the Australian Broadcasting Authority(ABA) to grant a permanent Melbourne wide licence. The station was one of many aspirant community groups who shared the 89.9FM frequency in Melbourne. Kiss, like the other aspirants was only allowed to broadcast for a limited amount of time, usually for 4–8 weeks at any one time. After many delays, the ABA finally made a decision on the licence and Kiss was not successful. The ABA awarded the available high-power FM frequencies to the Light FM (Christian) on 89.9FM and SYN (Student Youth Network) on 90.7FM. At the same time, the ABA awarded a low-power FM licence for Melbourne and the inner city to Joy FM to serve the Gay and Lesbian community.
