RTRFM provides a platform for local news and issues, with a strong focus on the arts, culture, social justice, politics and the environment. We champion local music and support musical diversity through 50+ programs and a huge annual program of events.



Station's programs range from talks programs to specialist, genre-specific music programs covering everything from jazz to hip-hop, punk, rock, metal, pop, ambient, avant-garde compositions and everything in between. These programs are presented by over 250 passionate, dedicated volunteers, and supported by eight core staff members.



The range of sounds and voices heard on RTRFM is reflective of its role as a community radio station. RTRFM is an outlet to people in the community who might not otherwise have access to broadcasting. This allows us to broadcast music and information that cannot be found anywhere else.



But RTRFM doesn’t just reflect the community by giving its members a voice – they are also funded by the community. Through subscriptions, donations, sponsorship and attendance at RTRFM fundraising events, the community is what keeps them on air.
