Station types

When it comes to deciding how to start up an FM radio station, there are frequently a number of options available, depending on your location and the radio regulations.

We can provide you with comprehensive information on the type(s) of radio station that can be established in your region of Australia. Some of the available formats in Australia include:

  • Low power open narrowcasting
  • Commercial FM broadcasting
  • Community FM broadcasting
  • Streaming on the internet

For these options you need to know details such as:

  • Startup and ongoing costs for the station
  • The transmission and studio equipment you will need
  • Information on how to obtain a FM frequency
  • The next steps you need to take to get your radio station set up

If these options don't appeal or are not available in your area, you have one other way to start up an FM radio station. You are able to establish a station that streams on the internet. It will be available to a worldwide audience and can stream in your choice of format. Common formats include Winamp and Windows Media Player, although generally we recommend the latter as most people won't need to download any additional software to listen to your station. This type of radio station can use a great deal of bandwidth, so it is important to have a fast speed internet connection with a high data cap limit.
