MEDIA RELEASE
A HUGE THANK YOU FROM RADIO ELLENBROOK 88FM
DATE: 9th MAY 2010
Radio Ellenbrook 88 fm today expressed their sincere appreciation of the support they received from their sponsors, supporters and friends in their recent request for submissions to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) against the proposal to award the 90.5 fm frequency to a High Power Open Narrowcaster (HPON), which would jeopardise the station’s future upgrade to a community broadcaster.
“The support was fantastic given the short time we had to seek the support and the submissions”, said Anne Green, Secretary of Radio Ellenbrook  –  thank you all!
We wish to advise all in the communities we currently serve, Ellenbrook, Aveley, Henley Brook, Belhus, The Vines and a small part of the Swan Valley that:-
We are now immediately embarking on the next phase whereby Ellenbrook Community Radio Inc is submitting an Application for a Temporary Community Broadcasting Licence (TCBL).
Up until now Radio Ellenbrook 88 fm, in conjunction with Western Tourist Radio, has been providing a narrowcast service for over 3 years in a 10km radius from its station at 4/60 Coolamon Blvd, Ellenbrook.
If our application for a TCBL is successful, it would mean that our new signal would enable us to add the entire Swan Valley, Chittering Valley, Bullsbrook, Gingin, Midland and others to our existing listening audience.
We are appealing to existing and future sponsors, supporters and friends in all the above areas to assist us by writing letters or emails to support of our application so that there will be a community radio station serving the area of the north-east Metro Perth.
So everyone, please help us by requesting (and completing) a supporters kit by contacting the radio station NOW on 9297 1088 or email radioellenbrook88@bigpond.com and ask for the TCBL supporters kit.
