Community Radio

When did all this happen? I wonder wither they still see then self as the Christan station of the Redlands?

Recently (this year I believe - couldn’t date it exactly), but I know their branding changes and an iHeartRadio player featured on their site, which led me to question IF (I’m unsure) they’ve fallen under new management.

It looks like the council gave the a grant so they have rebranded and made a new website. This was from Bay fm FB page "Bay FM 100.3 is grateful for the grant given to us, through the

“Mayor and Councillor’s Community Benefit Fund”. This grant has enabled us to develop

and release a new website, including new branding and a whole new look."

Being on iHeart is free if you take up the stream hosting package from the CBAA.

It’s free even if you have another stream host. You just need to meet some basic technical parameters.

Some kind of work going on with 88.5 2RRR late this morning.

First RDS disappeared.
Then audio & stereo carrier.
Now TX off from 12.07pm.

Now back on air a few minutes later.
RDS Encoder programming lost, no PS & PI showing as 5200.

Now all back to normal 15 mins later :slightly_smiling_face:

89.9 Pulse FM Hawkesbury off-air at the moment.
Did they suffer storm damage this arvo?

They were still sounding awful when I scanned the dial last night. Being off air for a bit could be a good thing.
