Lite FM (New Zealand)
In 1999 Radio Otago was sold to The RadioWorks and the Invercargill and Dunedin stations were replaced with network station Solid Gold. Lite FM continued to broadcast in Christchurch and became part of Radioworks collection of local stations known as LocalWorks.
The station played easy-listening music since the 1970s.
As of 2001, Lite FM's popular afternoon drivetime radio host was Peter Mac, also known as Peter McQuarters.
The station was rebranded and replaced by The Breeze in 2004 when Radioworks decided to rebrand all their local Easy Listening stations as The Breeze. Today The Breeze in Christchurch remains a live and local station despite other The Breeze stations having their local shows replaced with Auckland-based network shows, However the night show now comes from Auckland.
