===Wellington=== '''95-3 99-7 More FM Wellington''' is based in [[Wellington]] which is the birthplace of the More FM brand, with the first broadcast of a More FM station occurring there on 6 May 1991 as '''99/100 More FM'''. "Not Too Heavy Not Too Soft". The station went to air with award-winning Breakfast Host Simon "Swampy" Marsh and Anemarie Gold. The station later became known as '''94.7/100 More FM''' following a change in frequency. Today the station is known as '''95-3 99-7 More FM Wellington''', again following a change in frequency. In 2004 the 98.9 MHz frequency originally used by More FM Wellington was relocated to 94.7 MHz (formerly used by Channel Z) and provided coverage to the [[Hutt Valley]] area of Wellington. The more powerful 100 MHz frequency provided coverage to the majority of the Wellington urban area, and could often be heard at the top of the [[South Island]] and into the southern [[Wairarapa]]. In 2010, the station frequencies were moved to 95.3 and 99.7 respectively after a nationwide reorganisation of the FM band. The main transmitter is located atop [[Mount Kaukau]] in Khandallah, 6 km north of central Wellington, and broadcasts on 99.7. Two secondary transmitters are located at [[Haywards]] on 99.7, to infill much of the Hutt Valley, and at Fitzherbert (between [[Naenae]] and [[Wainuiomata]]) on 95.3, to infill Lower Hutt and Wainuiomata. The previous network weekday show was presented by Geoff Stagg from the Wellington studios until 2015. After Geoff's departure the network weekday show began being presented from Auckland leaving no local programming from Wellington. In June 2017 local weekday programming returned to the Wellington studio with the workday programme now presented locally between 10 am and 3 pm. From July 2017 until June 2020, [[Polly Gillespie]] and [[Grant Kereama]] did breakfast. Local programming on Wellington More FM no longer exists.
