Echo Fm is a New Zealand radio station that plays most genres of music. It was started up in early 2006 as 'Springs FM' but changed its name soon after. Echo Fm aims to further invest in transmission equipment as to improve range. Playlists vary from DnB to Electronica to Jazz and even Ibiza; Rock, Alt, Punk and others are played less frequently.

Ads seldom appear on Echo Fm which is good for the listeners as it means more music. The aim of Echo Fm is to be different. In Auckland there are far too many commercial stations that broadcast 50% music, and 50% ads and other rubbish. It is Echo Fm's aim to create a station which plays over 90% music and perhaps 8% Special Programmes. This leaves only 2% for ads. This gives hope to the frequency nomads after the sad closing down of Channel Z.Echo Fm currently broadcasts to:
* AucklandOffers for re-transmission of Echo Fm elsewhere in New Zealand are always welcome.

Ambitions for Echo Fm

*Better equipment

*Better coverage
*More listeners
*Better music (yes, it seems hard, as you can't get much better than the best)
*Underground self-promotion
*Online streaming, that's right boys and girls, if you are out of coverage, you can tune in on a machine called a computer!

Auckland

88.1 Echo Fm This is the Auckland version Of Echo Fm. It mainly reaches Western Springs, Grey Lynn, Ponsonby, Newmarket, Point Chevalier and Mt Albert.

*GIG Guide
*DnB Thursdays

Coverage

Because Echo Fm is LPFM, coverage is not always perfect. To get good reception, you will nearly always need an antenna. Also, Echo Fm wants people to re-transmit Echo Fm, this would result in better coverage throughout New Zealand.

*Advertising is Limited
*Music Is The Focus
