Q97 Beats is the Eastern Bay's home for R&B, Roots Reggae and Hip Hop, with a proud local and Kiwi edge running right through it. From the biggest R&B anthems to homegrown talent coming out of our own backyard, Q97 Beats is the soundtrack for mahi, the weekend, and kicking back with mates or whānau. It's more than a station. It's the beat of the Bay.
