Kink FM described itself as the only commercial radio station in the Netherlands dedicated entirely to alternative music. In 1992 Dutch radio station RTL Radio started broadcasting. After this station failed to be a success, its format and name was first changed to RTL Rockradio, then to Happy RTL and back to RTL Rockradio. In 1995, the name was changed to Kink FM and the ownership split 50-50 between RTL and Veronica. In 1996, RTL gave up on the cable station and sold its remaining rights to Veronica which is still the owner. From the start Kink FM had to fight for its existence.

  • Kink FM is een voormalig Nederlands radiostation dat voornamelijk alternatieve muziek draaide. Het station bestond tussen 1995 en 2011. Alle programma's werden gepresenteerd. Meer dan de helft van de playlist bestond uit nieuwe muziek. Het station richtte zich met name op moderne rock en pop. Ook singer-songwriter en dance werden uitgezonden. Kink FM was niet via de ether te beluisteren, maar wel via de kabel, satelliet en via het internet. Op 1 februari 2019 keerde de zender terug onder de naam KINK. (nl)

Von einigen ehemaligen Kink-FM-Mitarbeitern wurde daraufhin der Radiosender „Pinguin Radio“ ins Leben gerufen. Dieser ist vorerst nur im Internet auf dem ehemaligen Stream von Kink FM zu hören. (de)

  • Kink FM war ein niederländischer Hörfunksender für alternative Musik. Der Musiksender geht auf das 1992 gegründete RTL Radio zurück. 1995 wurde der Sender in Kink FM umbenannt und von dem Betreiber „Vereniging Veronica“ übernommen. Am 29. Juni 2011 wurde bekannt gegeben, dass der Sender zum 1. Oktober 2011 den Sendebetrieb endgültig einstellen wird. Dies passierte dann um 06:00 Uhr. Von einigen ehemaligen Kink-FM-Mitarbeitern wurde daraufhin der Radiosender „Pinguin Radio“ ins Leben gerufen. Dieser ist vorerst nur im Internet auf dem ehemaligen Stream von Kink FM zu hören. Am 1. Februar 2019 fand ein Relaunch des Senders statt. Das neue Kink (nun ohne FM) ist nicht mehr nur als Webstream und in Kabelnetzen zu hören, sondern darf erstmals auch terrestrisch verbreitet werden, zwar nicht über UKW, dafür landesweit über DAB+ auf dem Kanal 11C. Auf der Homepage, deren Namen nicht geändert wurde, lief bis dahin ein Countdown. Pinguin Radio bleibt außerdem weiter wie bisher als Webradio bestehen. (de)

After this station failed to be a success, its format and name was first changed to RTL Rockradio, then to Happy RTL and back to RTL Rockradio.

In 1996, RTL gave up on the cable station and sold its remaining rights to Veronica which is still the owner. From the start Kink FM had to fight for its existence. Kink FM was available in the Netherlands by cable, in Europe by satellite and in the rest of the world through the internet. It was also on iTunes's list of radio streams and via an iPhone app. In October 2005 Kink FM celebrated its tenth anniversary. The station's 12.5 anniversary was celebrated by organising a radio takeover. Several well-known Dutch artists such as Junkie XL, The Nits, GEM, Voicst and Rick de Leeuw (formerly of Tröckener Kecks) presented an hour-long radio show filled with the music of their choice. Despite the fact that most programs were presented by Dutch diskjockeys (except for Roy Avni (Electronation) an Israeli DJ, Craig Solo (Hip Hop 120 and Traffic Jam) an English DJ, and Little Steven), Kink FM had an international appeal, mainly because of the low percentage of spoken word per hour and its internationally oriented playlist. This is even more so the case with Kink FM's two internet streams: Kink Aardschok, Kink X-Rated and Kink Classics which played music non-stop. On 29 June 2011 Kink FM owner V-Ventures announced that the station would cease broadcasting on its 16th birthday: 1 October 2011. On Kink FM's 16th birthday, the station ceased broadcasting. In place of Kink FM the Internet-streams are used by Pinguin Radio. On 1 February 2019 Kink restarted, not as Kink FM but simply as Kink broadcasting via online channels, such as their own website and via digital radio DAB+. By June 2020 Kink has proven to grow at a steady pace and has proven to have listeners with longest listing time frames within the dedicated listeners group. (en)
