We currently broadcast to Sydney and Newcastle, with transmission to Wollongong to be added in 2021.

Appointment is anticipated to commence in the second half of 2021. We are keen to appoint new Directors who have a good understanding of governance, finance/fund-raising and broadcast technologies.
People with experience of lived disability, and in particular those with print disabilities are encouraged to apply.
Meeting on a bi-monthly basis our board, and small management team, is collegiate and operates in an environment of teamwork and enthusiasm to provide programs that are varied, informative and entertaining.
