River FM 92.9 live

River FM is a community radio station in Lismore, on the far north coast of New South Wales. It broadcasts on 92.9 FM under the call sign 2NCR, and its slogan is "Your Voices Our North Coast". On this page you can listen to River FM live online, free and without an app.

Local voices

River FM's programmes are made by and for the people of Lismore and the Northern Rivers, including Casino, Ballina, Nimbin and the surrounding villages, with local news, community announcements, interviews and information about events, clubs and organisations.

Music

The station plays a broad mix of music, from 80s hits and oldies to folk, roots, reggae, rock and local music, with specialty programmes presented by volunteers who love each style.

The area

Lismore is the main city of the Northern Rivers, home to Southern Cross University, with which the station has long been linked. The region is known for its creative communities, farming and rainforest, and it was devastated by the floods of 2022, when local radio helped keep people informed and connected.

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 ABC North Coast, Bay FM in Byron Bay, Paradise FM in Ballina and the region's other stations.

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.
