The Hits Ashburton is a radio station in Ashburton, New Zealand. The station was originally launched on 873 AM frequency as independently operated station 3ZE. It was sold by Radio New Zealand when the Government divested itself of its commercial radio stations. The station operated out of the second floor of the former Loan Society Building on Tancred Street, before moving across the road to Highgate House in the early 1990s. The station added an FM frequency which improved reception and suited the inclusion of a significant amount of music within its programme, becoming 92.5 3ZE FM. 3ZE's AM frequency is now used to re-broadcast Newstalk ZB. In 1998 3ZE became part of the Community Radio Network with all programming outside of the breakfast show being fed from a central studio originally based in Taupo. In 2001 all Community Radio Network stations became part of the Classic Hits FM network with programming outside of the breakfast show based from Auckland. At this point the station became known as Classic Hits 92.5 ZEFM. From 2001 local programming was limited to a local breakfast show. This show was most recently presented by Phill 'Hoops' Hooper. In the early 2010s the station moved to the newly redeveloped Somerset House. On April 28, 2014 all stations part of the Classic Hits network were rebranded as The Hits. A networked breakfast presented by Pauline Gillespie and Grant Kareama was introduced to almost all The Hits stations with the former breakfast announcer moved to present a 6-hour show between 9am and 3pm. At this stage Phill Hooper moved to present the 9am-3pm show, however feedback from listeners was not positive in the Ashburton region due to the change in format. A decision was made later in 2014 to network Gore based radio station Hokonui into the Ashburton market using the 92.5FM frequency and Phill Hooper now presents a local breakfast show for Ashburton listeners on Hokonui. The Hits remains in the Ashburton region on 89.3FM running total network programming. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Hits Ashburton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
