Independent local radio station, BayFM 99.9, has received a major grant from the Community Broadcasting Foundation, enabling it to plan big for the future.
BayFM’s President Ange Kent says the $430,000 grant will be used across the next three years in critical areas, including the community newsroom, ethnic programming and securing a studio manager. ‘This funding gives the station a much-needed boost,’ Ms Kent said, and thanked Nick Richardson, Mia Armitage, Matt Drinan, Vanessa Weekes and Deb Sharp for their efforts.
