In Nelson, Brian FM is heard on 105.6 FM, bringing the top of the South Island the network’s trademark anti-format format. Brian FM plays adult contemporary and classic rock under the line “Playing What We Feel Like”, dispensing with conventional breakfast shows and long talk breaks in favour of back-to-back songs and brief, tongue-in-cheek sweepers. For Nelson and Tasman listeners it offers an easy workplace and driving soundtrack — familiar music, local frequencies, and a personality expressed through attitude rather than announcers.
