Note: Several FM stations changed their frequency during October 2010, as broadcast licenses were renewed and spacing standardized to 0.8 MHz. AM stations were also moved in 1978 when New Zealand switched from 10 kHz frequency spacing to 9 kHz spacing.

As a general rule, full-power FM frequencies in Wellington are spaced 0.8 MHz apart, starting from 89.3 MHz

Note: There are a number of low-power FM stations that are operating in Wellington, whose broadcast range may be less than that of the full-power FM stations.

Generally low-power FM stations can be found in two parts of the FM band:

Low-power FM station Fleet FM(107.3 MHz) that is now off-air. KIX FM (a Classic Rock station that broadcast on 88.7 MHz is now on 87.6 FM)

The Following frequencies were previously used in the Wellington region, but were decommissioned in the clean-up of frequencies in October 2010.

It is unlikely that most of these will be used again, as many decommissioned frequencies do not fit the current spacing plan.

(Note: 96.9 MHz does fit into the Hutt Valley spacing plan, and is the only decommissioned frequency that might be re-used in future)
