Our Story

It was the middle of 2019, Covid reared its ugly head and we experienced the onset of chaos. Life was changing. The times had become unpredictable and confusing. People found themselves in isolation from loved ones and in precarious situations. Our question was how can we remain uplifted and confident in this times? What shone in the darkness was one common thread MUSIC!

And Central Coast Radio was born. With the onset of broadcasting live from the cloud, the one way we felt could lift our spirits and lift the spirits of others throughout Australia and the world, was to bring people together through music. Music, that was void of the distraction of what was happening in the world and delivered messages of hope, love, peace and understanding. We could do this by streaming across the airways via the internet! So that's what we started to do. That was then and this is now.

As more people joined, we realised that everyone has a special message of their own to deliver and a dream to want to fulfil and that they could do this through presenting and broadcasting a radio show.

As our listening audience began to grow so did the amount of people wanting to express themselves and their ideas via a broadcast. By offering the freedom to broadcast from their place of business, in their own chosen hours coupled with the freedom to say what they want and play what they want we are approached by many who wish to jump on board. Some are experienced others not so. No matter, everyone is offered the same opportunity - we train them as needed. Everyone is welcome to make their contribution no matter what that may be- their shows, their expertise, their life experiences. Our wonderful team bring with them expertise in confidence building, professional services- sales, marketing, advertising, business growth essentials, life coaching- the list goes on and we share it all.

Anyone can join the team anytime.The only criteria is to love what you do, you have a passion for music and you are determined to enjoy yourself and have fun! No matter what message you want to bring to the world, you deliver it with music. Our mission is simply to build an outstanding community focused radio station, based in the locality.
