Community Radio PLUS App

Did you know there are over 450 community radio stations in Australia.

City Park Radio is one of them … and now there is another way to listen to your favourite community radio station…. The Community Radio PLUS app.

On your smart device, download the app from Google Play or the App Store.

All we ask .. when the app opens for the first time, search the postcode 7250 and then make City Park Radio your favourite, and afterwards, branch out and explore the world of community radio.

Not sure what to do …. Head to our online stream page cityparkradio.com/online-stream/ …. There are so many options now to choose to listen ….

Another benefit of the new app is that the backend technology developed will also feed smart speakers. Stations will be more easily accessible by voice command with hundreds of variations of stations names now recognised by smart speakers.

There is no escaping City Park Radio … even if you scream 7LTN.

MEMBERSHIP– Paid up and Proud

Your management committee has elected to keep membership at the low rate of $55 per annum for 2022/2023… still a smidgeon more than just a $1 a week.

Being a member of your community radio show your support for this vital link with the local community. It gives you the opportunity to have a say in the direction of community radio for your city, allows you to vote at special meetings, gives you the opportunity to stand for the committee to run your station and if you choose, you can volunteer in many of the roles at the station. Training is provided.

Your small contribution as a member/volunteer covers you in part for that training, volunteer and other insurance, pays the licences for broadcasting, puts the coffee and tea in the kitchen, helps pay the power bills and general upkeep. As usual, as a member it doesn’t mean you have to volunteer, but feel free to pop in and say hi, and thank the members that do.
