VOLUNTEER PRESENTERS

We are lucky to have enthusiastic members who volunteer to help run Phoenix FM. Welcome to all our new members who volunteered to present programs during our 2008 test broadcast period.

All of our volunteer presenters are members of CVCB, trading as Phoenix FM. They are familiar with and enthusiastic about our aims and objectives, which encourage active community involvement.

Are you interested in becoming a volunteer presenter?

We are looking forward to continuing as a community radio station after our initial trial broadcast periods. Being a community based radio station, Phoenix FM is developing a wide range of programs reflecting the broad community in Central Victoria. They include a wide range of musics not generally available on local radio stations. We will always be interested in programs of all styles and for all age groups, and wish to promote local music including live broadcasts. We also welcome people interested, for example, general current affairs and local news, sports, the arts, religion and spirituality, youth issues, environmental, political and social issues, health, science and technology, ethnic and indigenous issues, minority groups, student issues, disability, and other community access issues, talk-back etc. Previous experience is not necessary as presenters will be trained.

To become a presenter.

  1. Presenters are expected to become financial members of the station.
  2. If you want to be involved on air or otherwise, but do not have a specific program in mind, you may wish to contribute in other ways (such as production, admin etc).
  3. Come to one of our regular Volunteers Meetings and ask to be put in contact with the programming committee.

SECOND TEST BROADCAST

Sunday 8th June - Saturday 21st June 2008

Phoenix FM ’s second successful test broadcast was for two weeks from Sunday 8th June to Saturday 21st June. There was a brief interruption because ACMA granted us 12 of 24 hours on Sunday 14th June.

For this period, ACMA again gave us the 89.5MHz broadcast frequency and we were able to reach the Bendigo area.

First Outside Broadcast Sunday June 15th

Our first outside broadcast was a call of the Round 9 TAC Cup match between Bendigo Pioneers and Eastern Ranges from Country Vet Oval, Golden Square on Sunday June 15th.

Four announcers covered the match.
   Richard Jones
   Jackson Saunders
   Geoff Morris
   Kraig Krieger

We had brilliant equipment, brilliantly installed by Peter, three footy callers who work superbly together as a team, and Brad anchoring beautifully back at studio headquarters. By any standards, this was an outstanding success and something which made community radio history in Bendigo. Geoff Morris

Program available on our Programs page.
