The station broadcast on 1310 kHz from 1949 to 1978, and then moved to 1296 kHz as a result of NZ changing to 9 kHz frequency spacing for AM radio services. | ''1ZH'' (for a time ''IXH''), was a Hamilton based AM radio station operating from around 1933 until 1990.

In the call sign, the 1 referred to the upper half of the North Island, while the last letter of the name denoted the first letter of the location (i.e., Hamilton).
