Local voices

Connect FM's programmes are made by and for the people of Bankstown, Canterbury and the surrounding suburbs of south-west Sydney, with local news, community announcements, interviews and information about events, clubs and organisations.

Music

The station plays a broad mix of music, from pop and today's hits to favourites of past decades, with specialty programmes for the area's many cultural communities and for sport.

The area

Bankstown and Canterbury are among Sydney's most multicultural areas, with large Lebanese, Vietnamese, Greek, Chinese, Pacific Islander and other communities, and Connect FM carries programmes for several of them in their own languages. It also follows local sport, from the Bulldogs to community clubs.

Volunteers

The station is run largely by volunteers, many of whom present their own programmes, and it is supported by its members, local sponsors and listeners. It also trains new presenters and gives local groups and causes a place on air.

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.

Other stations

On this site you will also find Sydney's other community stations, including FBi, 2SER, Alive 90.5, 2SSR and Northside Radio, and Arabic-language stations such as 2ME.

Listen anywhere

The online stream works on any phone, tablet or computer, so you can listen at home, at work or beyond the station's local FM coverage, and former residents can keep up with home.
