Please help power-proof BayFM so we’re here to help in tough times.

 

Here in the Northern Rivers we cop our fair share of adversity. Fires, floods, cyclones come our way and through all of it BayFM has stayed on air, sharing important information to help keep people, property and livestock safe from harm.

But our ongoing ability to do this is at risk from fragile infrastructure up at our tower site on St Helena Lane. It’s vital BayFM can keep broadcasting through all-too-frequent power outages, as people need to know what’s going on.

This is why were asking right now for all BayFM friends and family to help us out with a donation. Every dollar helps us remain a strong, independent voice for our region.

We urgently need to raise $40,000 to:

  • Install a new voltage regulation system to protect our broadcast equipment (from power spikes and other disruptions)
  • Install new aircon to cool the equipment (our old units have failed)
  • Install a solar system and battery backup system (also lowers our operating costs)

Running a community radio station just doesn’t come cheap, but these pieces of equipment are one-off purchases and will build our resilience for years to come. 

So if BayFM has kept you informed and entertained you, connected you with your community, introduced you to a new local artist, or simply been part of your day, we’d love and appreciate your support.

Thanks and good vibes.
