Local radio for the northern suburbs

89.7FM is made by and for the communities of Perth's fast-growing northern suburbs. Its programmes bring local news, community announcements, information about local events, interviews with local people and organisations, and talk about issues that matter in the area.

Music

Between the local segments, the station plays a broad mix of music, from today's hits to favourites of past decades, with specialty programmes for particular genres and communities. Local artists also get airtime.

Volunteers

Like other community stations, 89.7FM is run largely by volunteers, many of whom present their own programmes. The station also offers training for people who want to learn radio skills, and it is a stepping stone for many into the media.

Community radio

Australia has one of the world's largest community radio sectors, with hundreds of not-for-profit stations run largely by volunteers and supported by their listeners, sponsors and grants. They give airtime to local voices, local music and local information that commercial radio rarely reaches, and they are often the only station made in their own suburb or town.

Perth radio

On this site you will also find Perth's other community stations, such as RTRFM, Curtin FM and 6EBA, and the city's commercial and ABC stations, from Mix94.5 and Nova 93.7 to 6PR and ABC Radio Perth.

Listen anywhere

The online stream works on any phone, tablet or computer, so you can listen at home, at work or away from Perth. Online listening also helps in parts of the metropolitan area beyond the station's FM coverage.
