Again if you listen to Lithgow radio there seems to be plenty of links between Bathurst and Lithgow. 2LT / Move fm has a significant amount of advertising outside of their licence area, and of course Bathurst weather.
When I was in Bathurst in April 2014, I saw a flyer by 2GZ (as it was known then) on a number of businesses that was promoting what I think was a campaign for small businesses.
I think 94.7 Orange might predate the Broadcasting Services Act (1992) so it’s rather a case of making the licence area to fit the legacy arrangement.
2MCE was one of the first (if not the first) regional community stations. I am not sure if they were set up originally to broadcast lectures and other educational material. Charles Sturt University does have a campus in Orange so this is probably the reason for the translator. Of course 2MCE predates even CSU (1989) as it stands for the Mitchell College of Education, the original occupant of the Bathurst campus.
The interior design is really nice. Lots of desk space and great lighting just above of the window. Thinking of putting an annex outside so our presenters can be sitting outside perhaps on a nice day.
103.5 3MBS during their Radiothon broadcast mentioned that in late 2021 they’d upgraded equipment that has resulted in a stronger signal throughout Melbourne & surrounds. Has anyone in the area noted an improvement?
I remember when i was at Hawkesbury Radio, we were extremely strict with stuff like that. Gig guides were prohibited for that reason which irked quite a few presenters, mostly country music presenters. We stood firm on it.
Currently of limited use to me without carplay that they have promised to roll out in the future. Seems like a big omission for a mobile app. Was pretty disappointed after installing it to find it didn’t have the feature.
