About 95bFM

95bFM is a well-known independent student radio station based in Auckland, New Zealand, that is widely known for its alternative music programming and independent journalism. It is a cornerstone of the country’s alternative music scene and a famous “talent factory” for New Zealand broadcasters. Broadcasting on 95.0 FM, the station operates from the Student Union Building at the University of Auckland and is owned by a trust on behalf of the Auckland University Students’ Association. Unlike mainstream commercial stations, it focuses on underground, independent, and emerging artists from New Zealand and around the world. The station’s music playlist spans a wide range of genres, including rock, electronic, hip-hop, experimental, and indie music. Over time, 95bFM developed a reputation as a “breeding ground” for new broadcasting talent in New Zealand.
