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. The channel made national headlines in 2022, when the courts ruled in favour of redistributing the national FM broadcast licenses after a lawsuit.[2]

On January 23, 2024, the station launched in the Randstad on FM, taking over the frequencies from Radio Decibel.[3][4]
