Episode 3 of this 6-part CBF grant funded series WOW features Nancy Jo Falcone.


Nancy Jo to her listeners, is a proud founding member of BAYFM community radio and has been involved in the Community broadcasting sector for over 30 years.

She worked for 12 years as a volunteer in the early days of BAYFM presenting different programs, serving all executive committee positions, President, Vice President, fundraising, and sponsorship to name a few.

Over the years she has also worked as a station manager in the First Nations sector in WA. Nancy spent two years as station manager for Wangki Yupurnanupurru Radio, usually shortened to Wangki Radio /wɒnɡkiː/, an Aboriginal community radio station based in Fitzroy Crossing. You’ll hear about the people, the place, that light.

Nancy was also administrator for the National Ethnic and Multicultural Broadcasters Council in Melbourne and a Radio Broadcast trainer for the Community Media Training organisation.

Having come full circle, she’s very happy to be back as part of the Multicultural Nation radio program team at Bay FM. You can hear her every 5th Tuesday of the month focusing on stories from migrant workers with their music and cultural aspects of living in Australia contributing to our truly Multicultural Nation.
