Base FM began broadcasting in May 2004 on low power FM frequency, the aim was to bring underground music to Auckland's inner city fringe suburbs.
In May 2008 Base FM became completely independent from any network or other radio station, and within 6 months had launched nationwide on Freeview Channel 71, an amazing opportunity that allowed the station to engage with a much larger audience.
Now also on TuneIn BASE FM is accessible worldwide to anyone with a smartphone or internet connection.
