Viva was started as far back as the 1960's in Auckland using the name Radio i 1332 and broadcasting on 1332 AM. When the station switched to FM in 1992 the name was changed to Easy Listening i98FM. Easy Listening i broadcast in Hamilton on 97FM during the 1990s but this frequency today is used to broadcast Newstalk ZB into the area. Easy Listening i also broadcast into Christchuch on 94.5FM (during the mid-nineties) as a completely local station, this station was operated by C93FM Limited and was rebranded as Lite FM in 1997 after C93FM Limited was sold to Radio Otago, today this station has once again been rebranded as The Breeze (New Zealand). Easy Listening i made a return to Christchurch in 2003 now broadcasting on 1593AM and now as the network based product instead of their own local product, the station also was networked into Dunedin in 2003 on 954AM. Both stations did not perform well and as a result were replaced with Coast in 2004. The Easy Listening i network was rebranded as Viva FM in 2005.
