George FM Cocktail Hour is a digital side-channel of George FM, MediaWorks' dance network, streaming on rova. It pours the smooth end of the George catalogue: funk, soul, jazz-tinged house and downbeat grooves mixed for the golden hour rather than the club floor. The parent station's story is pure Auckland — founded in 1998 by brothers Thane and Richard Kirby in a Grey Lynn spare bedroom, commercial by 2003 and a MediaWorks brand since 2009. Cocktail Hour distils that heritage into a relaxed, presenter-free early-evening soundtrack.
