STATION UPGRADES FOR KRRFM

Kandos Rylstone Community Radio (KRR-FM 98.7) have received a Community Building Partnership Grant of $29,700 to make some upgrades to their station.

The bright yellow building in the middle of Kandos has become somewhat of a community hub welcoming members of the radio station, locals and other community groups to use the space. The funding will be used to upgrade the facilities including the kitchen and common areas.

KRR-FM is run by the community, for the community. All 31 of their announcers are volunteers and keep the tunes streaming from 6am to 9pm daily. The station can be listened to on the wireless or streamed anywhere in the world attracting fans from as far away as Germany and Japan!

Member for Bathurst Paul Toole said the funding will be put to good use.

“This funding will upgrade the station space so it can be used to its full potential and make KRRFM the place to be for locals,” Mr Toole said.

“The whole team does an incredible job and it was great to catch up with some of them to make this announcement.”
