PRESENTERS for 2WAYFM 103.9 have been briefed ahead of their upcoming radiothon.
Conducted by the volunteers of Hastings Community Radio, the annual fundraiser will run from Monday to Sunday, 1-7 September.
Hastings Community Radio has many keen volunteers with a solid history of supporting local community groups.
They provide up-to-date local information and a great range of music selected by each presenter.
The radiothon helps the Wauchope-based registered charity with expenses including equipment, electricity, license fees and rent.
In recent years, more than $20,000 has been raised and hopes are high for a similar if not better result.
During the week, listeners will be prompted to visit the station’s website – 2wayfm.com.au – to donate.
They can also call the station on 65852233 with their details.
Every donor will be eligible to enter a draw for one of several prizes donated by local businesses.
Other businesses wanting to support the radiothon are welcome to donate gift vouchers to add to those prizes.
Sunday, 7 September, will also be an Open Day, with locals invited to visit the station and its studios on the corner of Cameron and Bain streets.
Local musicians will entertain visitors and there will be a sausage sizzle and guided tours of the station.
Hastings Community Radio is an independent broadcaster.
It is a vital cog in the community and important to keep viable and on the air.
