What channel was that?
I went to the Korora or Bruxner Park site (the banana plantation is called Bruxner Park) 20 years ago and as I recall there was an Optus base in there as well. It was a NRN owned site back then from memory.
Coffs area has had vandalism issues for years - one mobile site (possibly Nana Glen) had someone break through the compound fence and start a bonfire once. Because it’s a long way from both Brisbane and Sydney, Coffs gets little attention from capital city based techs so its common to see overgrown compounds as well. The SCA TV techs in Coffs would have given that place some TLC but they may not even be there anymore since BA took over. To get it to burn like that would have required accelerant.

BAI only look after the broadcast side. The sites were sold to Axicom years ago, so I’m fairly sure being a former NRN site it would now be owned by Axicom.

Probably anti-5G nutters that lit it then wondered why their TV didn’t work anymore when they get home.

Some of the control room shots are in the old 7BCM presentation control playout suites.

Finally remembered to take this one from the train just north of Gosford… two community radio stations next door to each other.

So are they just replacing them with new models?

They’ve been trialling a new set of robotic cams in Studio B, I assume it will just be upgrading to them.

I live near Gosford and never knew this station existed.
I know of stations of Coast FM, Triple M Central Coast and Hit 101.3 are located in Gosford while, Rhema 94.9 and STAR 104.5 are located in Erina.
