Congratulations to the board, management and presenters who are all volunteers for the new sound of radio station 88.9FM in Tamworth.
The transformation from the old to the new is nothing short of magnificent and amazing compared to the previous format at the station.
Thanks to you all for your forward thinking and responding to the surveys that showed reform was urgently needed to take this community station into the future.
The program is delightful with the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s – plus the best of country – all presented by pleasant and experienced presenters.
The wide variety of country mix through all the programs, plus the pure country, approximately 38 hours a week, certainly does justice to the Country Music Capital.
The Fairfax news bulletins and the local news headlines each morning from the NDL newspaper are very much appreciated and informative.
Refreshing to see a group of dedicated volunteers with the station’s survival at heart and not going backwards with the old format that we were hearing in recent years.
This change and the wide coverage of the New England and North West regions has encouraged a massive increase in the listening audience and therefore has many valued sponsors come onboard to provide the finance to upgrade the old worn out equipment andtransmitter.
We understand the next few weeks will bring more excitement to the listening audience.
Radio 88.9FM is a real cracker.
