89FM was a local FM radio station in Auckland between 1983 and 1993 and one of the first radio stations to broadcast on FM in both Auckland and New Zealand. The first FM station in New Zealand was Whakatane station, FM 90.7 in January 1982 but this station was only a temporary summer radio station. The other station to start around the same time as 89FM was Magic 91FM in Auckland. The station was originally branded as 89 Stereo FM broadcasting on 89.4FM using the callsign 1ROQ. The station was based in Aetna House at 57 - 59 Symonds Street.

Breakfast show
In the late 1980s the stations breakfast show was presented by Mark Kennedy and Mark Staufer and was known as The Top Marks. The show was a top rating breakfast during its run. Both Kennedy and Staufer both went separate directions but in 2014 were reunited when they began presenting the breakfast show on nationwide radio station The Sound. Unfortunately the reunion was short lived, after just 5 weeks on the air the duo were taken off the air. ==References==
