Remixer's Dream Team 24

Remixer's Dream Team 24 is an international and New Zealand free-to-air television channel owned and operated in a joint-venture between The Walt Disney Company, Warner Bros. Discovery, MediaWorks New Zealand and NZME. Remixer's Dream Team 24 is available various platforms such as Freeview but sometimes plays music as a fill-in before and after the programs from their radio stations The Rhythm, The Breeze, Magic, Coast (as Coastline FM), Gold (first urban rock station), CFM (as Coromandel FM) and half of Channel X. This channel is known for airing music videos from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s and occasionally the 2010s to now. The channel was launched on November 11th 2019 at 6AM when Kiwi FM was rebranded into More FM.
== History ==
Remixer's Dream Team 24 was launched on November 11th 2019 at 6AM when Kiwi FM (programmed circa 2005) ceased broadcasting and was rebranded into a contemporary hit station More FM in 2015 approximately 9 years earlier. The first show to broadcast on this channel was Sunny Day before 10 Best Music Videos Of The 80s, which was a classic hits show playing music videos as a competitor to the now-defunct SEGA Channel. The Top 10 80s also included Erasure (Heavenly Action) and Depeche Mode (Shake the Disease), described as the "new SEGA Channel with just good music instead of games" during an article on its own website marking the first Erasure and Depeche Mode music videos to air on Remixer's Dream Team 24. The final music video to air on 10 Best Music Videos Of The 80s at this time was Thrill Has Gone by Texas.
On March 2020, following the return of Coastline FM (named from Coast), the Remixer's Dream Team and Ever After High merger began to expand to this channel by telling viewers they will need to update their dial or the preset on their TV from mainstreaming support to enchanting support. This rebrand was completed on August 1st.
From August 15th in 2023, Pacific Coast TV was introduced with more throwback programming, removing much of the primetime shows from this channel. Remixer's Dream Team 24 no longer has primetime programming. On September 17th, this channel has ceased broadcasting on SKY Channel 106 as it was announced to be only available on Freeview via UHF, original satellite and streaming TV alongside other stations such as Coast (as Coastline FM). This realignment also applies to Sunlight TV3 which was completed a week earlier.
In 2024, after the release of "Quiet on Set", Nickelodeon shows were dropped from Remixer's Dream Team 24 to make room for recent artists such as Daryl Hall, Linkin Park (partially), Depeche Mode (partially), AC/DC, Queen (partially), Erasure, New Order, Mumford & Sons, Paris Hilton (partially), Genesis, Duran Duran (partially) and Dove Cameron (not the 2020-present era).
