3 Stage Plan - Stage 1: cost of Relocation

COAST’S AWARD-WINNING COUNTRY RADIO STATION SEEKS NEW HOME


The Central Coast’s highly successful Country Music station todayscountry94one is seeking a new home and has launched a GoFundMe campaign to cover the cost of the relocation and new broadcast infrastructure.

The station has traditionally broadcast from Central Coast Leagues Club; however the Club is about to undergo a major redevelopment and the station will be forced to vacate by the end of 2020.

The station is Australia’s leading Country Music broadcaster with a massive national and international following. It is run entirely by a volunteer staff of Country music devotees and has won many national awards.

The move means the todayscountry94one will need to find new premises and set up two new studios costing around $90,000 by December.

The Go Fund Me campaign would allow regular listeners to assist with funding the move and upgrade by making a donation.

We hope that our followers will be keen to help us make the move by making a small donation on The GoFundMe page.
We help to promote Country Music in Australia and make it possible for listeners to hear their favourite music, whether they are in Gosford, Townsville or Perth.

The station has a glittering array of award successes including being named Australian Country Music Peoples’ Choice Award winner for Most Popular Radio Station in 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2018. Plus Best Popular Country Music Radio Station or Program - Australian Country Songwriters Program in 2016, 2018 and 2019.

Independent research showed that 44,000 people on the Central Coast listened to todayscountry94one at some time each week with 91% of those listeners rating it their favourite station.

The station had unusual beginnings when Country music icons Adam Harvey and Rod McCormack had a phone conversation just over a decade ago. They decided to take over the 94.1 license from the previous owner.

In 2010 they were granted a five year license and the station began broadcasting at Long Jetty before eventually moving to the current premises in the Central Coast Leagues Club.

In the following years we have been able to upgrade some equipment through grants and business sponsorships, but it is now time to upgrade to state-of the-art digital equipment to provide our loyal audience with best possible listening experience.

todayscountry94one is on air 24/7 and streams nationally and internationally on its website todayscountry94one.com. Volunteers include presenters, technicians, admin assistants and directors.
