Breeze Classic, and extension of The Breeze launches November 1 on the FM frequencies currently occupied by Magic.

This new member of the MediaWorks family will be dedicated to the era-defining classics from artists like Queen, Fleetwood Mac, Abba and Elton John.  The station will be fronted by Magic personalities Mark McCarron, Mel Homer, John Markby, Murray Lindsay and Trudi Nelson.

Leon Wratt, MediaWorks’ Director said:

“Over the past year, we’ve been asking listeners what music they want. Some wanted a more classic hits playlist, while others wanted one that’s more contemporary. So our solution is to launch Breeze Classic for those who love the classics from the late 60s, 70s and early 80s, while Breeze continues to play hits from the 80s, 90s and 2000s.

Magic remains an important part of the station mix for MediaWorks and will move to rova, presented by Bob Gentil, and concentrate on playing the nostalgic hits of the 50s and 60s.”

Breeze Classic will launch on FM radio across 25 New Zealand frequencies and rova from November 1.
