Free FM is one of twelve independent Access radio stations operating around New Zealand, and a member of the Association of Community Access Broadcasters ACAB . With some support from NZ On Air, Access radio stations provide broadcasting facilities for individuals or groups not otherwise heard in mainstream media. Access radio is in essence radio by the people for the people , where the freedom of expression of ideas, values and beliefs is valued and protected. Free FM formerly known as Community Radio Hamilton began broadcasting on the 7th of December 1991 from a small studio located in Collingwood Street, Hamilton. At that stage the Station broadcast for only a few hours per day, with a limited range of shows.
On the 21st of December 2001 the Prime minister, Helen Clark attended a function to open a second studio for broadcast and production work, and to help celebrate the Station's 10th anniversary. In 2003 Free FM underwent significant change with the adoption of a new strategic plan, introducing new management roles and a new focus on delivering a more diverse range of programmes and greater community involvement. Late 2006 saw the first phase of our Internet Broadcasting Strategy, the launch of our live stream, thanks to assistance from the Digital Strategy Community Partnership fund. In March 2008 we launched the 'Free Speech in any language' campaign, raising awareness of the important place Access Radio holds in allowing our communities to speak openly and freely.
The high point of the campaign was the first of several Open Day events on 5 April. Free FM broadcasts Waikato wide on 89. 0FM, covering the area north of Huntly to South of Tokoroa, east of Te Aroha and west of Raglan. The Ministry for Culture and Heritage allocated the 89. 7FM in Hamilton city
