| '''Echo Fm''' is a ] radio station that plays most genres of music. It was started up in early 2006 as 'Springs FM' but changed its name soon after. Echo Fm aims to further invest in transmission equipment as to improve range. Playlists vary from DnB to Electronica to Jazz and even Ibiza; Rock, Alt, Punk and others are played less frequently. | |||

In Auckland there are far too many commercial stations that broadcast 50% music, and 50% ads and other rubbish. It is Echo Fm's aim to create a station which plays over 90% music and perhaps 8% Special Programmes. This leaves only 2% for ads. | |||
