A directory of every Australian Community Radio and Television Station.
We have covered in a number of our Free Help Sheets, advice on marketing
your special events, achievements or projects through the media, both commercial
and community stations.
As an added resource we have linked through to the
Community Broadcasting
Sector's website which contains a state-by-state breakdown of all
the community broadcasters across the country, including all the multicultural
and indigenous broadcasters.
While not all community stations run a format where community news and views
are aired, we encourage groups to check with your local broadcaster to see
if you are able to do an interview or at the least, supply a media release
for inclusion in programs or as a snippet in the news services.
Many stations also provide times for budding broadcasters to host their own
segments or program but normally to people who are involved as volunteers
at the station. Having a regular spot or segment on community radio takes
a fair bit of commitment, expertise and planning but it is certainly worth
getting involved with your local community radio station.
The other important thing is that if you do have a regular spot or there
is a presenter who regularly provides an update on your group's activities
make sure you alert your membership to it so they can support both your group
- and the station itself.
Just follow these links the Community Broadcasting sector's listing of
community radio stations in your state/territory. Each listing contains a
rundown of the content on the station, its frequency so you can listen in
- and also where available - a direct link to another page profiling the
station, providing phone numbers and email addresses and also links to the
station's own website where available to allow you to get in touch, contribute,
subscribe and support your local station.
