Advertise and support a local community radio

Coral Coast Community Radio 94.7FM offers great advertising and sponsorship opportunities for local businesses.

Station president Robert Modrow said the not-for-profit group relied on local businesses for support.

"We provide advertising for their sponsorship because as a not-for-profit organisation we don't get handouts from the government," he said.

"There are certain grants that we can get but with those grants you can only buy capital assets like chairs and tables, you can't put them towards running costs for things like rent and electricity bills.

"We've been going for 16 years and Bundaberg businesses have supported us really well in the past and with the launch of our new website we are excited about having more businesses see the benefits of advertising and support us."

“Mr Modrow said our station is totally different set up from main stream media, offering local businesses great advertising packages with the added benefit of supporting a great non-profit local community radio.

"We've got almost 50 presenters who are volunteers as well and members of the organisation from all parts of the community. It's virtually the community's voice.

"It's a platform for the normal community person to get on air and play their music and talk on their views offering the local community something very different from the commercial stations doing all the network stuff."

Mr Modrow said the station also provided an outlet for other not-for-profit community groups. "We do have a vision impaired member who does a radio program - so it gives groups like that an opportunity to have their voice on air as well," he said.

"Because our community is a multi-cultural community, we give them an outlet too so all areas are represented. And also the youth, so the youth have a voice in the community."

Mr Modrow said advertising on the station was extremely cheap compared to commercial stations.

"They can take advantage of very cheap advertising and in giving us that sponsorship dollar, the funds stay local and support the people who support them," he said.

Mr Modrow said sponsors could also enjoy live outside broadcasting from their place of business. For more details contact us now or call us on 0408 516 946.
