Push for new Bunbury radio station |
February 6, 2013, Bunbury residents are being encouraged to fill out an online survey
and voice their opinions on a proposed community radio station.
The
station, headed by Bunbury city councillor Judy Jones and experienced
former station manager Graham Harvey, will be based at Newton Moore
Senior High School and aims to launch midway through 2013.
“The
survey is the first of a number we’ll put up in an attempt to identify
exactly what Bunbury would like from a community radio station, ” Cr
Jones said.
“Harvey, Augusta and Collie are all smaller towns than Bunbury and have successful community stations.
“So
far we’ve tentatively identified our target audiences as mature adults
to seniors and plan on playing a mix of popular contemporary music from
the 1960s until today.”
The station hopes to launch at the end of June, once it is provided with an FM channel.
“At
the moment, GWN7’s analogue signal is using most of the available
spectrum but it is set to shut off in June, ” Mr Harvey said.
“At
that stage the Australian Communication and Media Authority will review
what’s available and we’ll hopefully be assigned a channel.”
For more information or to have your say, head to www.bunburycommunityradio.com and fill out the three-minute survey.
